Just install and let it re-register. As an FYI, microsoft will only object if you go over 3 or 4 installs a month. The system is set up so that if you are re-installing an OS a lot but not on a massive scale, it won't be flagged.

Also, if for some reason they balk, tell them you are setting up a training class.
