Does additional license required to install Snow Leopard into Parallels VM?

I have an iMac and an Snow Leopard license. I'm planning using Parallels to make additional virtual Mac. (for test and debugging purpose) Do I have to buy additional Snow Leopard license for the VMs?

Thanks. "License is single use only." I should buy additional license for VM. – Eonil – 2010-03-20T08:00:11.413

1You need to buy a license for the Server version. Parallels and VMWare won't let you install OS X client to a VM. – cOle2 – 2010-03-20T16:56:25.227

Oh really? Server version only (legally)? If so, I have to give up all my plans. Main purpose of VM was making a (cheap) OS X sandbox. – Eonil – 2010-03-21T10:49:57.150

Snow Leopard Server is currently the only version of OS X that is licensed for virtualization. – Paul R – 2010-03-21T17:57:15.177
