Purchase new LEGAL Windows 2000 Pro.

[Evans]

HELP!!
I can't find anyone with LEGAL 2000 Pro Licenses any more. does anyone know
where I might be able to lay hands on about 40 copies?

I have an ongoing need to buy 2k licenses for new terminals.

Thanks
Evans

Use the DOWNGRADE option?

Not a bad idea... little costly for my taste but...
at least we have a builtin upgrade path on those boxes with no additional
cost <grin>

If I do this, can I key the XP PRO license number into the 2000 setup
program to install 2000?

 

[Bob I]

No you would need to use a 2000 number as 2000 wouldn't "take" an XP one.

Thanks for the link, I missed them in my search.
the reply below was intended for Bob I above... (but applies somewhat here
as well <grin>).

I guess it's coming up on time to push for XP moing forward.

 

[Evans]

Didn't think so... sigh
so back to square one on that. I'd really rather not enter bs or dup 2000
numbers and rely on having the XP COA's to c *MY* a!
I suppose it's still illegal to use 2k license codes fround on usenet?
<Grin>

 

[Bob I]

Contact the licensing folks. The XP COA's ARE your licenses.

 

[Evans]

Apologies - I'm clearly having brain damage of major proportions today.
(the thought of intentionally calling MS about licensing - <shudders)>
So, I can call them and ask them to issue me vaild 2k key codes against the
XP COA? Who'dve thunk it?
Again, thank you for your patience with the licensing impaired.
Evans
