Re: Downgrade 2008 to 2003

Hello Cleve S.,

What is your real question, like you say, you can buy 2008 server and have
the right to install the same 2003 version. Talk to your software vendor
about the obtaining of license key and media like described in Question 4
under Other. There is no oiption to downgrade an installed 2008 to 2003,
it will be a reinstall.

Best regards

Meinolf Weber
