Small Business 2003 problem Activation

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

I installed a Small business server 2003 on a server and
then i activated it and it runs without any problems.

and I installed it again on another server but i didn't
activate. now, after more than 30 days, it doesn't run.
it boots and boots...and boots.

Should I install it and to get the activation code again
from Microsoft ?
and I if i install it again, what about the domain that
created ? and the dns ...and the other configurations?
every thing will remain the same and should I have new
entries?

Are you still running this same copy on the old server? If so, you need to
buy another copy of SBS.

If you aren't running the old server anymore, call MS and activate by phone.
Explain that you changed hardware, if you get a 'human'. You shouldn't need
to reinstall.

I didn't understand you.
Now i don't want the old version But The SBS 2003 on the
new server doesn't run more because the 30 days have
expired. it starts and then it reboots. Do you think
Micorsoft will help me ?

Call them and see...if you aren't trying to use a single licensed copy/key
on more than one server, they ought to be able to help you. Why didn't you
activate it when prompted, on the new server, after taking the old server
offline?
