R2 Version Confusion

[Guest MS Poster]

Hello:

 

I have Open License versions of both Server 2003 Standard and Enterprise.

I also have my OL key for R2 Enterprise. If I run the R2 installer from a

network share (that is, I execute Setup2.exe) to an W2k3 Ent SP1 machine,

it installs fine. If I run it against W2k3 Standard SP1 machine, it fails

with "Setup cannot continue because the operating system edition is different

from the Setup edition."

 

Do I need a different version of R2 for Standard? Or do I just need a different

license key? I have Software Assurance. Should this be covered by SA?

 

Thanks.

There is a CD2 called R2 for Standard edition, anoder is R2 for Enterprise

edition and another for the Datacenter. Each one will only install on its

version.
