Trying to Figure Out Volume Label for Windows 2003 Web Edition

Previous Windows Server 2003 Web Edition CDs we have installed had the
volume label NRMWOEM_EN, which corresponds to Web Edition 32-bit OEM. This
is according to the Microsoft KB 889713:

Last week we purchased a license for Windows Server 2003 Web Edition 32-bit
from an outfit online that has great feedback named Royal Discount. What
they shipped us is a CD that has the label CRMWOEM_EN. Can someone please
identify what is the C in that label? The license does not appear to be
compatible with virtual machines built with the other volume label, so this
is why we want to understand what we bought in more detail. We don't
find any description of that label through Google or Microsoft.

For a virtual machine, are you only allowed to use retail or open licenses?

In general we are finding that Microsoft has many "sub-versions" of a given
type of Windows that seem to correspond to HP, Dell, IBM, and generic OEM
versions. In the interests of maintaining sanity we would like to be able
to deal with a single binary CD distribution and a single type of license
across all machines, and doing so has proven to be nightmarishly complex.
No one ever keeps the disk with the machine it came with.
