48. Can I downgrade Windows Small Business Server 2011 to Small Business Server 2008 or 2003?

As noted on Microsoft’s Windows Small Business Server 2011 licensing site, a downgrade from Small Business

Server 2011 to Small Business Server 2003 is not supported. If the customer wants Small Business Server and

needs to run an application that’s only supported on Windows Server 2003 R2, then:

• If the server is already running the application, the customer should leave that server alone and add a Small

Business Server 2011 server. If AD is running on the Windows Server 2003 R2 server, then the customer may

want to transfer the AD settings to Small Business Server 2011. The Small Business Server 2011docs include a

section on migrating from Small Business Server 2003 to Small Business Server 2011, which covers how to

migrate a Windows Server 2003 R2 AD domain to Small Business Server 2011.

• If the application is not already running, then the customer should run the application under Windows Server

2003 R2 in a virtual machine (VM), either on a second server or on the Small Business Server (with Small Business

Server also running in a VM). It is best that the customer get a VAR’s advice on how to do this.

For the customer who wishes to downgrade from Small Business Server 2011 to Small Business Server 2008:

• There is no fulfillment process for FPP or OEM Small Business Server 2011 customers to obtain downgrade

media/keys for Small Business Server 2008.

• Open License Small Business Server 2011 customers may obtain downgrade Small Business Server 2008.

media/keys via the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).

An FPP or OEM Small Business Server 2011 customer may reuse the software and key from a previously purchased

Small Business Server 2008 license under downgrade rights for a newly purchased Small Business Server 2011

license. Whenever reusing previously purchased software/key to fulfill downgrade rights for a new license, the

customer will be prompted to phone a Microsoft Activation Center. Once the customer explains that the

software/key is being reused under downgrade rights for a new license, the Microsoft Activation Center will provide

the customer with an activation code.

Here are the most common Small Business Server downgrade scenarios:

• Replace/Upgrade a Small Business Server 2008 server: in this case, the customer should continue using Small

Business Server 2008, but needs to upgrade or replace the server it’s running on. The customer should buy a

Small Business Server 2011 license with the new server. If Small Business Server 2011 was licensed via FPP or

OEM, then the customer would reuse the existing Small Business Server 2008 media/key to install it on the new

server, activating it via phone as described above. The Small Business Server 2008 documentation explains how

to migrate to Small Business Server 2008 from Small Business Server 2008.

• A new Small Business Server customer needs to run an ISV application on the Small Business Server, but the

application is currently only supported on Windows Server 2008, not Windows Server 2008 R2. Such customers

should purchase Open License Small Business Server 2011 and obtain downgrade Small Business Server media

and a key via VLSC.

49. Can I downgrade from Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition to Small Business Server 2008 Standard

Edition?

• Yes. You are eligible to downgrade from Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition to Small Business Server

2008 Standard Edition. Customers need to obtain genuine Windows Small Business Server 2008 Standard Edition

media and a corresponding product key.

• The media should come from a prior, legally licensed version and have been obtained from the OEM or

retail channels.

• Additionally, end users who are licensed separately through Microsoft Volume Licensing programs may use their

VL media and product key.
