I wouldn't want one of my clients running 2 buildings with one ECS License.

When MS closes the fence, all non authorized systems will just crash.

I think it's a well laid plan to shake off pirates.

MS is in "volunteer" mode right now, but has announced that it will be 
mandatory or all updates will cease.  If you can run without ANY updates 
at all, you might get around that issue.  But as I found out, if it 
detects an "invalid" install, sooner or later you will get contacted 
about it and "offered" the ability to make it legal.

My two cents - not worth the $149 it takes to get a license.

All my servers and PC's have been upgraded to valid licenses.
