Question Sample database being copy of live...

Hi all,


I've heard that it is possible to use a copy of your live database as your Sample database. What I'm trying to do is take last night's backup and replace the generic Sample database. I've heard it is possible by changing the serial # (since the serial # can't be the same as your live database.) In the situation I heard about, the organization contacted their BB rep and they told them how. However, when I contacted my rep, he said "
This can be accomplished with the purchase of a non production RE database, which is $1,250."
Does anyone have any experience/comments they can offer? We can't make this purchase and I'm fairly sure we don't have to.
