My server running MS Server 2003 is failing. We are a very small company and cannot justify the expense of upgrading our software at this time. Can I transfer my existing OEM License to a new virtual machine?

Hi, The OEM version of Windows is based on BIOS, so you may not able to transfer the OEM license to virtual machine. For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft MSDN blog: Reported OEM BIOS Hacks http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wga/archive/2007/04/10/reported-oem-bios-hacks.aspx Based on the current situation, you may refer to the following Microsoft KB article for how to troubleshoot this issue: How to troubleshoot startup problems in Windows Server 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325375 If the hardware is damaged, you’d better contact your OEM vendor to repair it.
