Windows Server 2003 R1 Media or R2 key from R1 key

[Guest DSHJ]

I have an old Dell server, and I have lost the original media that came with

the server. I am repurposing the server for a development box, and I swiped

the hard drives in the process.

 

I am trying to find out how I can either download Server 2003 R1, purchase

the original media disks, or obtain a R2 key from my R1 key. I have a valid

license for Server 2003 R1, and I don't want to have to purchase another

license to replace my existing, valid license.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try contacting your reseller to see if they can supply you with a windows

server 2003 CD.

 

If you acquire a R2 CD, it won't work with your existing key.
