As a note That article will only work with a Volume License Key, if a retailed copy of the OS was purchased you will not be able to do this.<br />
<br />
Also note that if you do change the key you will run into Authentication problems when MS tries to verify your product code when going for updates on their sites.<br />
<br />
Just some things to keep in mind.

So are you telling me that my customer will have problems getting updates using this method? &nbsp;If that is the case then doesn't it make sense to reinstall with a clean install so this wont be an issue?

Changing licenseing code

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
