Used Window SBS 2003 on a new machine - any special requirement for activation?

Trying to sell a copy of the Window SBS 2003 Premium edition that is no longer being used in any of the machine in the office. Will the new owner need to call Microsoft to get another licensing key before installation? Or the product key attached to the CD case is sufficient?

The key on the cd will probably not work as when you activate, it adds details of the pc to it's database. Depending on the verison ie oem etc, you will probably find that the licence will not allow it to be installed on another machine
