While it shouldn't affect the existing install

Activating Windows Server ...
Activating Windows Server 2003 test disaster recovery plan
However, upon booting the test 'clone' (which is off the network for now), I am prompted to activate that copy of Windows Server on the new hardware.
My question is this: If I activate onto the new hardware, will this 'harm' the existing activation of the production server? I will only have the OS running on the test clone for as long as it takes to validate that the process went as expected.
This is a required element of our disaster recovery plan testing... I just want to make sure it won't impact our production environment by screwing up licensing data.
