Guest Ole Weigelt Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Hi everybody, I have changed my server's HD. It is running on Server2008 Now, my system tells me taht it has been deactivated due to HW change and I should reactivate. Reactivation results in error 0x004E003 which means that the key has been used previously. Of course it has! _I_ have used it before on the same machine. KB 931276 tells me to punch in the Key again, but I do not have that option. When I start slui.exe from the command line, it tries to activate, comes up with the error described above and that's it. Does that mean, I must not change HW without reinstalling and re-buying? Thanks for your time Ole
