German server key with english installation disk

[Guest Bernd Driesen]

Hi NG,

 

I have bought a server with a german windows server 2003. Now I want to use

this server in the french office of my customer. Can I use the german key

with an english installation disk?

 

Regards,

 

Bernd.

I dont think it will work but even if it works you will probably have an

ilegal instalation.

If you bought the server with win2k3 probably it is a OEM and you cant

change the language of an OEM.

At least this was MS response to a similar problem
