Guest Headsup Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 I am the proud owner of a copy of 2008 Enterprise with 25 Cals, as of Friday there :) I have one question, and I know that should really know the answer to this, but.... I am about to purchase hardware for this fine product, but I want to give it a blast right now, which got me thinking, I know I can install it onto some existing piece of hardware and just use it in pre-activation mode (eval?) for the tryout, but will I be able to move it to another server if it has been activated on another? Will the license allow this? I mean what happens if you want to upgrade your server to a better model, can it be done? or will I have to look out for black sedans? Thanks for any help

Guest Headsup Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Re: 2008 Retail Licence Okay.... I'll take that as yes, that I can move from one hardware platform to another if I have to.
