We are trying to install SP2 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. When the installation begins we get an error that says that the product key is invalid. The machine is from HP and the OS came preinstalled. It passes validation but the error still comes up whenever we try to install SP2. I have seen a post on how to deal with this error in the past but cannot find it again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, as this seems to be an OEM version contact HP first. Then i would contact Microsoft support for the license problem.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
