GP deployment currently has 3 administrator/designer and 0 generate/viewer seats in MR 2012 for GP 2010. Need to increase the number of admin/designer seats. Does anyone know whether it would be possible to order GP 2013 keys, thus giving MR 2012 keys for GP 2013 that doesn't have an admin/designer nor gen/viewer limit and use those MR 2012 keys as part of GP 2013 licensing in MR 2012 for GP 2010? I understand the implications of doing this (wouldn't be able to change licensing for GP 2010 once GP 2013 keys are released), but wanted to know if this was technically possible and/or if someone has tried this.

Ian is correct. That is going to violate your licensing agreement so I would highly recommend not doing that.

I believe you'd be in breach of your licence from Microsoft if you tried to do this.

The Perpetual License keys for Management Reporter should only be used with the Perpetual License of GP itself.
