RE: SBS 2003 std CAL issues

Hello Brian,

Thank you for posting to the SBS Newsgroup.

I understand that you want to know if it is needed to reinstall SBS 2K3
Server after remove CALs. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let
me know.

Based on my knowledge, you do not need to reinstall the SBS 2K3 Server
after remove CALs.

[Note]: KB article 194065 has similar steps for resetting License Manager
Information on the SBS 2003 Server.

KBLink:194065.KB.EN-US: How to Reset License Manager Throughout an
Enterprise
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=194065

I also found following Web Documents and KB article for you, please see:

In addition, if you have any questions regarding the Windows server
licensing, you may contact the licensing office:

For licensing questions, you can also call 1-800-426-9400 (select option
4), Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. (PST) to speak directly
to a Microsoft licensing specialist.

Worldwide customers can use the Guide to Worldwide Microsoft Licensing
Sites http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/index/worldwide.asp to find
contact information in their locations.

Thanks a lot for your time and understanding!

Best regards,

I recently installed a SBS 2003 std server.
I ordered 5 extra user CAL's
My vendor purchsed 5 user and 5 device CAL's
Both the device and user CAL's were installed and activated.
I had to get an RMA and all of the licenses need to be returned.
I received the replacement for the 5 user CAL's

My question....Can I remove all of these license's without reinstalling
the
Server? regedit?

Brian
