I did a search, and every result I got back was for Amazon offering you
somebody's second-hand (i.e., illegal) copy. There were no new copies on
sale anywhere.
(I particularly hate the fact that Amazon now sells second-hand stuff. I
don't *want* second-hand items! But Amazon seems to not offer any way to
disable showing them...)

Not as far as I know, no. When you activate, you must enter a valid
license code, or you get asked to call a helpline. If you don't do that,
your PC stops working after a while.

Yeah, I heard something about this... Still, since I don't have Windows
7, that doesn't help [yet]. Also, what if I want to run more than one
Windows VM? I'd still need more than one license. (Unless I can convince
Windows that all the VMs are "the same machine"...)

Second-hand is not necessarily illegal. Of course, with active software,
it's entirely possible for the authors to do something that prevents you
from doing what's entirely legal.

So call the help line and see if they'll sell you an activation.
