Regarding the validation of the license, I believe that it derived from the configuration code, which is based on the physical hardware, serial number, or some other unique information for the server. You would need to re-authorize when moving the license to a different machine, but you also get at least a few days of demo before the license prevents users from logging in.

What we did (in the days before this "get a validation code" stuff) was to have a minimal licence on our DR system, and choose not to have hot failover. If we'd needed it, we would have relicenced our backup server with the main licence. IF that's okay, you'll need to check with Rocket how it works, but you could have say a four-seat licence on the backup system, pretty much same hardware as live, with which you could run your reports as required. Any problems, put your main licence on that box and (iirc) last time I moved an install the validation code didn't change with hardware so your original validation code (providing you remembered it) will validate on that install. Things might have changed since then, though ...
