    It is NOT a crack, all the delat does it convert trial to MSDN retail version, nothing more, nothing less

    Then you can use oembios* changer to get oem version (read stickies & learn)

    XP/2003 offline activation = SLP string in BIOS + SLP OEM key + oembios* set corresponding to SLP string

    It is not really rocket science

    Trial to MSDN conversion using Delta

    Any one having Windows 2003 R2 Datacenter edition delta files for Retail, OEM and Volume based versions.

    Trial Edition for Datacenter R2 x64 is available at MS Download site

    Windows Server 2003 R2 Datacenter Edition x64 with SP2 Trial

    microsoft .com downloads/ en / details.aspx?familyId=92E2C4BA-6965-4F8E-ABBE-CBB40556B680&displaylang=en

    Volume Based Disk
    Windows Server 2003 R2, Datacenter x64 Edition with SP2 - Disc 1 - VL (English)
    en_win_srv_2003_r2_datacenter_x64_with_sp2_vl_cd1_x13-47474.iso
    SHA1: FA9BE688550B535C049AA6AF0B82A2B061259F22

    Dell OEM Windows 2003 Std Server R2 SP2 x64

    I am a little bit confused. I am trying to install Windows 2003 Standard R2 SP2 x64 on a Dell Server with OEM product key COA (product key is for 32-bit version of Windows 2003 Server Std R2), but 64-bit version I am trying to install won't take 32-bit product key. I have another Dell server with 64-bit product key and it works fine.

    As a base I have converted trial X13-05825 to en_win_srv_2003_r2_standard_x64_with_sp2_cd1_x13-05757.iso. Then I changed PID and CD label to OEM. The result image I got works fine with the server that has x64 bit product key, but won't work with x86 product key on the other server. I have confirmed that both COAs are for Windows 2003 Server Std R2.

    Just for the heck of it, I downloaded x86 eval iso and converted it to Dell OEM using the delta provided on the first page of this thread. The install went fine and x86 product key worked. I haven't tried it with x64 product key to confirm my theory yet, but it looks like you can't actually substitute these product keys (e.g. install x86 OS and use x64 key and vice versa). This contradicts with Microsoft's license which clearly states:

    "14. USING SOFTWARE DESIGNED FOR OTHER PLATFORMS. A license for a
    platform-specific version of standard edition (e.g., Windows Server 2003 R2
    Standard Edition with Service Pack 2) permits you to use, in place of what
    you have licensed, the standard edition software for the other platform under
    that license... For example, under a license for Windows Server 2003 R2
    Standard x64 Edition with Service Pack 2 you may run Windows Server 2003 R2
    Standard Edition with Service Pack 2, designed for the 32-bit x86 platform.
    "

    Perhaps someone here has or can make delta for converting trial X13-05825 to Dell OEM Windows 2003 Std Server R2 SP2 x64? I would really appreaciate it!

    Thanks!

    May be those COA keys are cpu architecture specific, but oem:slp keys are surely not!!

    Both servers are Dell 2950 with identical CPUs, so Dell OEM COA stickers shouldn't be cpu architecture specific unless the server has Itanium processors, but I am I won't argue because I don't know what I am talking about here :) Anyhow, if someone could create a delta X64 Dell OEM disk it would be great.

    I would create you this one, but I do NOT have official Dell x64 Server 2003 R2 disk

    Maybe LateShift (or is is Oz now?) has the iso?

    Thank you all for sharing :)

    Does anyone happen to have Windows Server 2003 SP2 OEM (not R2, and OEM being different from retail and VL). I can't seem to find it anywhere...

    OK... I'm throwing in the towel here. I'm been searching and hunting for the last couple days and can't seem to get this going. I have followed some of the guides here and there is so much confusing information out there it's hard to tell exactly what I am supposed to do. So here it is in a nut shell.

    I have a Dell server with a Server 2k3 Standard 64 bit R2 license stuck to it, which up until recently was running linux. I am putting windows on there for a customer. So far I have done an install with the below media I created from the trial version.

    384f54fbd0f3524d4cc262f5892de230 - en_win_srv_2003_r2_standard_x64_with_sp2_cd1_X13-05757.iso

    Of course it is not taking my key because this is not an OEM channel CD. I have searched high and low through here, I've probably even seen the answer but didn't realize it.

    Here is SLP CRC, can someone please let me know how to either change the channel of the current install, or how to change the iso I have to a Dell OEM disk that will accept this SLP? It's is a bare install so I really don't care if I have to reinstall, I just need to get this thing working and would greatly appreciate some help.

    SLP CRC - 63875D1F and B6F0EEFD

    Again, looking for a Dell OEM Windows Server 2003 Standard R2 64 bit

    Thanks!
    **fingers crossed**

    Did you alter SETUPP.INI to accept OEM:SLP keys?
