Hello
Im looking at wanting to purchase windows server 2008 standard...
Where would i buy the license for this and what would it cost in the uk and where can i get one from ?
I purchased a copy over the internet but after ive done a reinstall the key says in use and Microsoft say its not genuine. I look on the net and see so many different kind of keys and prices im stuck at what it legit and what is not .
All ive got is one server and i want windows 2008 standard on it please can you point me to some where in the uk that it will work on this one machine and this one machine only and if im to do a fresh install it will work once again on the same machine . .
Many Thanks

You can seach around on web for the sku that you generated to see if you can find any better pricing. For downgrade rights see Q15 in this document.

Hi gkdestroyer,
You may also try to contact Microsoft partner or reseller to purchase Windows Server 2008.
However, it is recommended to contact Microsoft Licensing Specialist directly for this kind of questions.
Hope this helps.
