    I need to change the product key on server 2003

    I tried this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918342

    with no luck :( 

    I tried using this script but it didn't work either

    \
\WMI Script - ChangeVLKey.vbs
\
\ This script changes the product key on the computer

if Wscript.arguments.count&lt;1 then
Wscript.echo "Script can't run without VolumeProductKey argument"
Wscript.echo "Correct usage: Cscript ChangeVLKey.vbs ABCDE-FGHIJ-KLMNO-PRSTU-WYQZX"
Wscript.quit
end if
 
Dim VOL_PROD_KEY
VOL_PROD_KEY = Wscript.arguments.Item(0)
VOL_PROD_KEY = Replace(VOL_PROD_KEY,"-","") \remove hyphens if any
 
for each Obj in GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}").InstancesOf ("win32_WindowsProductActivation")
 
result = Obj.SetProductKey (VOL_PROD_KEY)
 
if err &lt;&gt; 0 then
WScript.Echo Err.Description, "0x" &amp; Hex(Err.Number)
Err.Clear
end if
 
Next
