ESX 3.5.0 - License Question

Hi,

I burnt a copy of ESX 3.5.0 Update 3 some time back. I installed in without any issues and it is now running in our production environment. I recently installed it on another server, but when I attempt to register with my original serial key, I get the error:

"This is not a valid Serial Number/License Activation Code"

Can anyone tell me:

(a). Can I register the same key twice?

(b). Can I generate another key and use it to activate my existing second installation?

I only have a few days left on the evaluation so I need to activate this ASAP.

Thanks.

ESX 3.5 is not free, so you must be installing trial, therefore I recommend you to use free ESXi without any problems.
