2008 Retail Licence

[Guest Headsup]

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

You have 25 Cals. The answer is obvious

Okay....

 

I'll take that as yes, that I can move from one hardware platform to another

if I have to.
