Licenses And Server Upgrading [modified]
-
Hi, anyone got any experience with this? Just taken on a new job, and Ive been asked to help out with sysadmin. Currently have 3 servers: 1x Windows 2000 (with exchange 2000) 2x other Windows 2000 servers All on 1 domain. Have got a new server to replace the 1st one. It will have Windows 2003, and Exchange 2003. And plan to scrape the 1st server. So we have the software from Microsoft Action Pack Partnership thingy. What about licensing? Will it be carried over, or do i need to repurchase CALS? I noticed in License Manager, that CALS are stored on individual servers. If that server is replaced, do the CALS need to be reinstalled, or will they remain on the domain? And one final silly question, are CALS still like a file on a floppy disk like in the old days, or do I need to hunt through the IT cupboard for a serial number? Any response gratefully appreciated.
