Hi Randy,

Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.

If you want to upgrade from SBS 2003 Standard to Premium, you need to
purchase an upgrade CD (CD 5 with Premium Technologies). Also, you need not
to purchase more CAL since the SBS 2003 Standard CALs can be used in
Premium edition as well.

To purchase SBS 2003 Premium upgrade, refer to the following page:

You can contact your local reseller or Microsoft Product Sales and
Information Center that can be reached by calling (800)426-9400.

To install SBS 2003 Premium, please print and follow the
