Volume License Key Project 2007 How Can I Change The OEM License Key On Server 2003 To A Volume License?

How can I change the OEM License Key on Server 2003 to a Volume License? - volume license key project 2007

In preparation for a new plan for disaster recovery, I have to change the OEM (factory-installed Dell server 2003 OS) license key recently acquired a number of volume licenses. This must be done so that Windows will be registered and then work with various hardware was originally installed in the event of a recovery on a new hardware after a disaster.

This server must be implemented in a database server, a very large and complex. I was by my source of disaster recovery information is the only way to reinstall Windows or use the new key, or perform a complete repair of Windows and type the new password in the installation process. A repair of Windows is risky because there is a large and complex server.

I read the following MS Knowledge Base article, it refers to a changeVolume License Key, and not specifically change the OEM license number.

Can we say with certainty whether it still works? unless someone can offer suggestions?

Thank you!

I used Server 2003 several times and I think the best way would be to create the ntbackup.exe a full backup of system state and files on the server operating system wth the new key again. Good luck!
