Guest Mangler Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 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.
