I have a legal OEM version of Windows Server 2003 disk and the
software is installed on an active machine currently. I am looking to
get a newer server and wanted to make sure I don't violate and
agreements. Is it OK for me to Install the OS on the new server when
I get it If I take the old server out of production and never use it
again? I would contact MS about the activation and explain the
situation but before I get on the phone and wait on hold forever I
thought I would ask here first.

Hello Mangler,

OEM software you can use only with hardware you buy it with.

Best regards

The OEM version of the W2K3 Server will die with your computer that it is installed on at present
