Windows 2003 R2 - License question
- Hello,
We have been having issues with an older server which has 2003 R2 installed. I have a new server which will be used to replace the exisiting one. Just wondering if I can use the same activation key on the new server? This gives me 30 days to activate. Once the old server is completely powered off could I then activate the new server?
Just want to make sure I am doing everything by the books when it comes to licensing.

- I found the answer to my question:
Can I uninstall my OEM software from one machine and install it on a new or replacement machine?
- ANSWER: No. OEM software has no transferability of license rights. This is not new and has been the case for a long, long, long, time. Look in your End-User License Agreement (EULA) for your OEM software. You will notice it does not include Transferability of License Rights. This is just one of the many differences between OEM and Retail or Volume License software- Marked As Answer byZoeTaite Tuesday, November 03, 2009 7:56 PM
