Is 2003 R2 a free upgrade?

[Guest just bob]

If I have a license for the original Server Std 2003 can I install R2?

 

I'm guessing "no" but I'd like that confirmed.

 

Thanks,

no, unless you have software assurance you'll need to pay for the upgrade.

Nope.... One of Microsoft's more misleading releases... You need new

licenses....
