SBS 2000 purch. from Dell install: "invalid license key" error

[Bill Goss]

Does anyone have any idea how to work around this? I can
get SBS 2000 CD1 to boot & begin the install - but when I
enter the product key I get an error that it's invalid -
which I doubt since a) I purchased it directly from Dell
and b) Dell Tech Support tried another license key,
which got the same error message.

This is on a Dell 400SC with PERC ATA RAID 1 initialized
with NTFS.

Thanks,

Bill

I'd have to say it was up to Dell to fix it. If stuff supplied by Dell won't
install on a Dell computer that suggests to me they've messed something up,
and its not like we can print up a list of other product keys for you to try
here is it?
