I am using Virtual Machine software (VirtualBox) to learn Windows Server 2008 R2 Network Infrastructure (70-642). Trouble is - I'm learning at an extremely slow pace and so the trial periods of my virtual machines are close to running out.

If I delete the VMs then install WS2008R2 from scratch on new VMs is that violating the acceptable use policy of Microsoft?

I am aware that I can extend the trial, but it seems I can only do that by 10 days at a time. Also I think having to re-install from scratch is a good way to reinforce the knowledge.

I can't answer your question directly but I would suggest purchasing a TechNet subscription so as not to have to worry about those issues.

slmgr /rearm will give you an additional 30 day window. You can rearm up to three times. This will give you an additional 3 months of trial time without having to reinstall.

Also, make sure you know your DNS for 70-642 ;)

As to the actual legality if it - we're sysadmins, not lawyers. We generally refrain from answering these kinds of questions here.
