Re: Getting SBS legal



the fact that the system wanted to activate doesn't alone suggest it's not
licensed.

BTW sounds like SBS2003
SBS public Newsgroups:

SBS 4.x: microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz
SBS 2000: microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000
SBS 2003: microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs

if your current news server does not carry the mentioned groups you should
be able to connect directly to news.microsoft.com

I have a new client that has Small Business Server. When I installed SP 1
it
wanted me to activate the product. So obviously my client needs to
purchase
the product. My question is what do I buy and how do I apply the license
without reinstalling the operating system? Can I just put in the product
key
for the newly purchased software and activate it successfully?
