50. Can I downgrade from Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Edition to Small Business Server 2008 R2

Standard Edition?

• No. Downgrade rights, if available, only apply to previous versions of the same product.

Upgrade rights

51. Why does HP OEM media not support upgrade installation, while Microsoft media does?

Unlike Microsoft media, where the customer may already have a server running on an old version of Windows

Server, OEM media can only be sold with new servers, so the assumption is that there is no upgrade. Because of

that assumption, HP has disabled the upgrade function. If a customer wants to upgrade to a new version of

Windows Server, then the new version will need to be reinstalled.

52. I bought Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition from HP with my new HP ProLiant server, but I really meant

to buy Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition. Can I do an upgrade?

Unfortunately, Microsoft does not offer an in-place upgrade from Windows Server Standard Edition to Windows

Server Enterprise Edition. If you noticed your error as soon as you made it, please contact HP for a return.

Virtualization and OEM licensing

53. Why do I get a “system not supported” message when trying to install HP OEM Windows Server 2008 R2 media

on top of Microsoft Hyper-V when it is running on a non-HP branded host OS?

The necessary manufacturer strings have not been inserted into the Hyper-V product to allow the installation of HP

branded media. You will need to run the following command from the command prompt (including spaces):

Reg Add “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization” /v BiosLockString /t REG_SZ /d

“Hewlett-Packard”

54. Why do I get a “system not supported” message when I try to install HP OEM media on top of VMware?

To allow the HP OEM media to detect that it’s being installed on HP hardware, you will need to add the following

configuration line to the virtual machine configuration file:

“SMBIOS.reflecthost=TRUE”

55. Can Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter Edition be installed within a VMware environment?

Yes. It can be installed just like Windows Server Standard or Enterprise Editions.

56. How do OS licensing rules for VMware VMotion, Windows Server Clustering Services, and the Microsoft System

Center Virtual Machine Manager differ?

Refer to each product’s online documentation and License Terms for details. The following answer is specific to

licensing for Windows Server in virtualized environments. Note that the licensing terms for Windows Server in

virtualization deployments are the same regardless of which hypervisor is used to manage the virtual machines.

Similar licensing rules apply to both Windows Server Clustering Services and VMotion and System Center Virtual

Machine Manager. While VMotion and System Center Virtual Machine Manager move instances of virtual operating

system environments (OSEs) between physical servers, the Windows Server licenses are assigned to physical

servers and remain with the physical server to which they were assigned. When an instance is moved to a new

physical server, that new server must already have appropriate licenses assigned to it. Because Windows Server

Datacenter Edition permits an unlimited number of instances of the server software to run in virtual OSEs, in

multiserver installations with VMotion, and with System Center Virtual Machine Manager, it offers you the greatest

flexibility to move instances between servers without having to track the number of instances running or needing

to worry about being underlicensed.

57. Can you virtualize a SQL Server?

SQL is an application that runs on top of the OS. If you are able to virtualize the OS, then the SQL application will run

on top of that OS. There are no additional technical requirements to run SQL in a virtual environment. The latest

hypervisors can virtualize databases without complication. However, each SQL Server license includes specific

rights for use in virtualized environments. Refer the end-user license terms of your licensed version of SQL Server

for details.
