Are we legally using W2K Server?

[BigAl]

Hi All,
I look after two W2K servers in a High School. I have only been able to find
one W2K CD and therefore one product key. Both server installations use the
same product key - I used a utility called keyfinder to determine this. It
may be perfectly legal, it's just that I can not find any documentation to
support this. Is it possible that the school could have purchased two
licences for the one media? If so, how can I find out short of ringing MS,
or is that the only way?

Thanks,
Big Al.

Did you ask anyone ?
I would ask there at the school

Hi,
Yes, I asked at the school but drew a blank. Any other
suggestions?

Thanks,
Big Al.

To my knowledge, when you buy W2K server (or any OS for that matter), you
are really buying the license. CD key's don't correspond to licenses. When I
have purchased in the past, I usually buy X licenses and 1 or 2 media disks.
So it is entirely possible that you've purchased two licenses and one media.
The catch is, you'll need a license certificate to prove you own two copies.
If you don't even have one, then you'll need to purchase them, even if you
have the media with a key.
