I've done this dozens of times with OEM licensed machines but this is different. I have an old 2003 SBS that from what I can tell isn't OEM, there's no OEM in the product ID. The original install disks/code were lost in a building fire. They grabbed the server on the way out, rest burned up. Server is on last leg for many reasons and simplest thing to do virtualize it. Especially since I will be moving them off it within the next year. And for business reason's I can't move them to a new server at the moment. I'm trying to figure out what to buy so when it tries to activate after virtualization I'll be able to do so. Can I just buy an old copy of SBS 2003 standard and use the key from it? Will it screw with the extra 40 CAL's already on the server when I do?
