Transfer of windows 2003 licence to a new server
I currently have a windows 2003 server that I am not using and I do not want to use in the future. I am purchacing a new server with no operating system and I would like to install windows 2003 server on it and use the licence from the old server that I dont want to use anymore.
Is this possible? Can I just use the product key from the old server?
Thank you.

Not if it's OEM (legally). OEM licences are tied to the hardware.
