license Question

[Guest Mangler]

I have a legal OEM version of Windows Server 2003 disk and the

software is installed on an active machine currently. I am looking to

get a newer server and wanted to make sure I don't violate and

agreements. Is it OK for me to Install the OS on the new server when

I get it If I take the old server out of production and never use it

again? I would contact MS about the activation and explain the

situation but before I get on the phone and wait on hold forever I

thought I would ask here first.

Hello Mangler,

 

OEM software you can use only with hardware you buy it with.

The OEM version of the W2K3 Server will die with your computer that it is installed on at present
