troubleshooting Question
Server Software Not Genuine
I hired an IT guy to get my systems installed. Turns out, all of a sudden when I log into the server it says "This version of Windows Server 2008 is not Genuine".
Ready for this? This IT guy is now in jail!
I paid this guy for the software and everything, but he had everything. If I go buy a retail copy or something, can I add the new "legitimate" license key on the existing installation or am I going to have to hire someone to start all over again?
I've been running this server for about 7 months now so I don't even know what software or features are installed.
thanks
