Hello all.

I have a client that has SBS 2000 with software assurance. They have
upgraded now to SBS 2003 (Std Edition) with the CD's supplied by Microsoft
through the software assurance program.

However, what happens with SQL 2000? I know that with SBS 2003 Std Edition,
there is no SQL 2000, however the customer did have SQL 2000 with the SBS
2000 package.

Does this mean now that they will need to buy/upgrade to SBS 2003 prem
edition just to get SQL 2000 working (even though they had a working copy
before upgrading to 2003 std edition)?

Is it possible to use the SQL 2000 install files from sbs 2000 cd's to
install SQL 2000 on SBS 2003 Std edition?
