39. If my server running Windows Server 2008 R2 is covered under Microsoft Software Assurance, do I have to pay

for Windows Server 2012?

No. As part of Software Assurance benefits, you will receive the rights to upgrade your Windows Server license

to a successor version released during the term of your Software Assurance license. Software Assurance

licensees should access the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) for full details of their Software

Assurance benefits.

40. What happens if I already have Windows Server 2008 R2 and want to upgrade to Windows Server 2012 but have

not purchased Software Assurance for the server?

If you purchased your Windows Server 2008 R2 licenses less than 60 days ago, then simply purchase Microsoft

Software Assurance for the licenses from a Microsoft authorized license reseller such as HP SLMS

(hp.com/go/slms). Otherwise, you will need to purchase a new Windows Server 2012 license for each server that

you will be upgrading. Unlike service packs and feature packs, each new release of Windows Server is the full

operating system and requires a new server license.

Downgrade rights

41. What are my downgrade rights?

For information on the downgrade rights for your Microsoft product, refer to the end-user License Terms of your

Microsoft software license. Additional information about downgrade rights may be available at the Microsoft

website for each product family (http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/downgrade-

rights.aspx).

42. How do the downgrade terms affect client access licenses (CALs)?

Customers running an earlier version of Windows Server or Small Business Server under downgrade rights must use

the CAL version corresponding to the version of their operating system license, not the downgrade version.

Windows Server CALs and SBS CALs apply to all earlier versions of those OS families.

CALs for Windows Server and for Small Business Server 2008 or later do not require a product key or activation.

However, RDS CALs do require activation of the license on the RDS license server.

RDS CAL product keys must match the version of the OS they are installed on. You can activate RDS CALs on a

downgrade version of Windows Server by calling Terminal Services Clearinghouse and obtaining a downgrade RDS

CAL key (refer to RDS downgrade rights). To contact the Registration Authority and Clearinghouse in the United

States, call (888) 571-2048. To access the Registration Authority and Clearinghouse from outside the United States,

follow these steps:

i. Click Start, point to Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click Remote Desktop Services Licensing.

ii. In the Remote Desktop Services Licensing console, right-click your license server, and then click Properties.

iii. Click Connection Method, and then click Telephone.

iv. Click the appropriate country, and then click OK.

v. On the Action menu, click Install Licenses, and then click Next.

vi. Call the appropriate Customer Service Center by using the telephone number that is displayed.

vii. Click Cancel to exit the Remote Desktop Services Licensing console.

43. What are the activation requirements for the downgrade scenario?

For Microsoft products that require activation, if you are using a previous version under downgrade rights, you will

need to activate it with a valid product key for that downgrade version. As noted in the end-user license terms for

your software license, neither Microsoft nor HP are obligated to provide you with downgrade media or product

keys. In general, when customers are exercising downgrade rights, they reuse the product key from a previously

obtained license to activate the downgrade version. If automatic activation fails when doing this, the customer will

be prompted to phone a Microsoft Activation Center. When they explain to the Activation Center analyst that they

are reusing a key under downgrade rights, the analyst will assist them to activate the downgrade version.

Alternatively, if using an HP OEM license for Windows Server, HP may be able to provide media and a product key

for a downgrade version on request from the HP OEM customer. Either contact an HP Call Center to request the

media or go to the HP website at: hp.com/go/wsdowngrade.

There is a small fee to cover shipping charges. The

media kit will be shipped from the United States, so allow 3 to 10 business days for delivery (depending on customs

requirements and shipping method). The kit will NOT include your license keys. The kit will provide instructions on

how to obtain your product keys.
