My discussions 4 ~ 6 month ago with people from the Hobbyist License 
program told me that I could (re)use my single hobbyist license on 
multiple VAXen, physical and / or virtual.

If you are worried or want confirmation, please send the contact for 
your existing license an email.  Or go through the Hobbyist License 
front door and inquire.

They were quite friendly and seemed happy to answer my questions.  The 
worst was the sometimes multi-day turn around time.  But I'm not 
complaining for something free.  :-)
