Same answer applies. You'll have to "Upgrade" the server to get it to accept the new key, but I'm not sure OEM media will allow you do that.

Volume License (VL) media does not. If you purchased a VL key that explains why it doesn't work. But you should be able to 'upgrade' the previous install with the VL media and key.

Hi, Last week a collegue of mine installed a server using one of our action pack CD's and installation key (I know, I know). Luckily he didnt activate the install. I have now kicked him around the car park, and I have purchased a 2008 server standard key, to change the old key to the new one. I know this has been covered before but the new key wont be acepted, I have been clickin the activate/ phone customer support/ enter new key - but it just says invalid key. Is this because he used Action Pack media? Can I get round this without having to reinstall the server?
