Is it legal to use unactivated windows 7/server 2008r2 in an organization?
For example, as a test machine.

Answer 1

From the official agreement

If you have a formal license, you may use a version of the software during installation until the end of the authorized activation period. If the software is not activated, you may not use it after the end of the activation period. This is necessary to prevent illegal use of the software. It is forbidden to bypass the activation procedure in any way.
