Plesk on VMWare?

Hello all,

I'm interested on taking my entire FC3 installation on my server and copying it to a virtual machine using VMWare on my home computer where I can attempt an upgrade to Plesk 8.0 from 7.5.4. This way, if anything goes wrong, it's not on my production server.

However, am I going to run into problems because of licensing? Is my plesk license code ever transmitted back while running or doing an upgrade that is going to lock out my real server? Has anyone tried this? I know I could download the trial 1 domain Plesk, but I'd like this virtual machine to be almost identical to my production server so that I can really see if anything is going to go wrong.

Let me know if anyone has any thoughts.

Thanks in advance!

~Jeff
