Can I use my "English" license to install any language versi |
|

Hi!
I have purchased an English version of SBS 2003 Premium with 5 extra CALs.
(Total of ten).
However, I now realize that as I will use it in a Swedish organisation,
maybe it would have been wiser if I had bought the Swedish version from start
as all clients are running OS and applications in this language.
My question is: Can I legally use my license key to install a Swedish
version of SBS 2003 and in that case, will the key I have for my English
version work? If not, any other ways to handle this?
FYI: I have not yet activated or registered my English version of SBS which
was bought to upgrade a existing Swedish version of SBS 4.5. Sending the
media back to the vendor is unfortunalety not an option.

You are not legally allowed to do this. However, one time something similar
happened to me and the local MS office gave me a "license waiver" so I could
install spanish CALs on a SBS2k english server. Talk to them and see if you
can get somewhere... maybe they can even change them for you.
