Serial Key Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003 Serial Key

I have here an old Dell Server with original serial key on the case. The server is damaged, so i bought a new one and wanted to use the licence from the old one. CDs are not included with the old server so i tried original Windows 2003 Server Standard RS 2 CDs, but the key won't work.

Hello, I'd like to reinstall the OS on one of our boxes. The person that was in charge of all the Open License CDs got fired and left no product keys for the CDs. I'd like to know if it's possible to tell under which product key is the current version of the OS installed under on this box?

OEM stickers (license #s) generally go with the hardware they're affixed to. Technically you can't use one OEM license on a piece of physical hardware on another piece of physical hardware.

And usually, that OEM license number is only usable when you attempt to install Windows Server 2003 from a Dell disk.

I'm not a Microsoft Licensing Scheme(tm) expert.

For OEM media, you need to contact the OEM (Dell).

Dell stores the keys in a 'SLIC' file. To changes this you would have to modify the BIOS on the replacement machines to use the same SLIC or a newer SLIC that would cover the activation key on your replacement system. Sometimes you can find one in a forum and install it. However if you screw it up, its cooked.
