Guest MS Poster Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 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.

Guest George Valkov Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Re: R2 Version Confusion 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.
