OK, first, the install is not tied to his NIC, so you must be referring to
CAL floppies.
Let's get the legal gibberish out of the way. If HE payed upgrade pricing
for his SBS2003 media YOU are breaking the HIS EULA by installing SBS. In AU
I think both systems would be considered iffy, legally.
If he purchased FPP you are both clean and clear and please excuse my
outburst.
:-)
So it then depends on the legal situation of the CAL packs. If both the OS
and CALs have been transferred to your ownership and he has not claimed
upgrade rights against them you need only call MS licensing and spend a few
minutes (hopefully) on the phone. The newsgroup cannot rectify this problem.
just for fun
if he has claimed upgrade pricing his system is in violation of his EULA,
MHO suggests that as you have purchased 'in good faith' the one legal copy
of SBS is owned by you.
