Jeffr,

I don't believe the grace period impacts SQL, however if you have less than 3 weeks left to complete your migration, surely installing SQL on SBS 2008 would be a better option, or postpone the installation until the migration is finished.

Thanks

David

Does the grace peiod also extend to SQL on SBS 2003 Premium? We are having difficulty installing an 2003 instance of SQL Server on SBS 2003 which is in an extended grace period. The SQL installation does not enable us up reinstall full SQL or create an instance.

Dave C - OEM is tied to the hardware it is first installed on, before the customer uses it.

thanks

Can you move an OEM copy of SBS to new hardware ?

I can guess the answer...
