What do you mean "And do what it to the another one??"
What kind of activation problems?
If i restore with the DVD it is not asking for a serial

Hello Running and dev-anon!
Dev-anon, thank you for your assistance!
Running, you can surely do that. Activation issues are related to Windows 7 protection algorythm: after the recovery it may detect that the hardware it's assigned to doesn't match the its records (since it's being moved to another machine) and may ask for activation.
The best and cheapest way to achieve your scenario is to use Acronis Snap Deploy 3 for PCs. You can test the solution before making a decision. I would also advise you to check Installation and User's Guides - they contain all the information regarding the process.
Please, note, that according to the Acronis License Policy you will need one license for one computer your are going to deploy (or backup/restore). In case you're using ABR, you will need 1 license for the machine you're going to take the image from, and 1 license per each machine you're going to restore. In case you're using Acronis Snap Deploy 3 for PCs, you will need licenses only for machines you're deploying the image to.
Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!
Thank you!
