Re: Upgrade from Standard to Premium OEM

Hi Joel,

Yes, you can upgrade OEM to premium. You can purchase the upgrade wherever -
there's no OEM upgrade SKU to my knowledge, there's only FPP (retail)
upgrade available. There's no license, CALs, or anything else to purchase,
just the upgrade bits from Standard to Premium.

Product Upgrade (from SBS 2003 R2 Standard to SBS 2003 R2 Premium)
$699 T75-01260



If you don't have R2, look for a non-R2 upgrade SKU.

I have a client that has an OEM standard 2003 sbs version. Is it possible
for them to upgrade to Premium? and do I have to get this from the
original OEM vendor?

Thanks
