Licensing Keynote

So I installed Keynote on a machine that I use strictly for displaying keynote and not editing purposes and I forgot to put in a license key for it. The thing is, it still displayed the keynote and was working perfectly fine. Is it ok for me to do this without purchasing additional licenses since I am only use it to display and not edit?

The Keynote is used strictly for presentation. Our communications team here creates a Keynote file and they push it to the Mac Mini to display the Keynote. That's all they are doing. We chose to go with Keynote rather than QuickTime output because in Keynote, if they were to change 1 slide or maybe take out 1 movie, it doesn't update the whole thing. it just updates the changes which is very nice if we ever get to larger keynotes.

From the licensing agreement:
http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iwork.pdf

*2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.*
*A. Trial License.* If you are using the trial version of the Apple Software, this License allows you to install and use the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer for the sole purpose of evaluating the Apple Software. The trial version of the Apple Software expires thirty (30) days after the date you first launch the Apple Software. Upon the trial expiration, you may continue to open files in the trial version of the Apple Software, but you will not be able to save, print or export files.

So, you can use it fully for 30 days, after 30 days you can only use it as a Keynote, Numbers, and Pages viewer.
