Default Problem with Key Update


I am repairing a small network that was installed with a volume license key
that was revoked. The company bought new licenses and the key update utility
took them OK. A genuine check now comes up clean. The problem is the repair
install does not like the key, because it is not volume license. I presume
there is no way to fix this short of a clean install using the non-volume
license media, which means all the settings will get lost?

Your trying to repair a VL install with VL media and a non VL key? No, not
going to work. You may be able to do a repair using the proper media for the
new key.
