P2V a Windows Server 2008 Machine
Your input would be greatly appreciated with the following.
I have a Dell Server which shipped from Dell originally with Windows Server 2008 installed, thus it is an OEM License.
I have the need to P2V that Physical Server and run in a VM Ware environment.
Is there a way to us the same Windows 2008 Server license or does switching the hardware forces me to purchase a new license key?

Bottom line when P2V a server with an OEM WIndows Server license, you must purchase a new Windows Server License.
