Andrew,

 

What can you tell me about downgrading from 2008 to 2003? I know it can be

done, I'm just wondering about activating 2003.

 

Here's a link:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/licensing-faq.aspx

See the 3rd question under Other.

 

The more I think about it I realize this is the way I want to go with this

purchase.

 

Sorry, I'll need quotes with Server 2008 Standard.

 

Thanks again......

 

Cleve

Hello Cleve S.,

 

What is your real question, like you say, you can buy 2008 server and have

the right to install the same 2003 version. Talk to your software vendor

about the obtaining of license key and media like described in Question 4

under Other. There is no oiption to downgrade an installed 2008 to 2003,

it will be a reinstall.

 

Best regards
