SBS 2003 R2: Technology Upgrade Program website is now LIVE!

Hello All,

 

The SBS 2003 R2 Upgrade Media Kit is finally here! Did you purchase an English version of SBS 2003 with SP1 (Standard or Premium Edition) preinstalled on a new server from an OEM or System Builder during March 1, 2006 through August 31, 2006? If so, this may make you eligible to receive a copy of the SBS 2003 R2 Upgrade Media Kit!

 

NOTE that purchases of SBS 2003 through a software retailer (full packaged product), an applications vendor, or a Volume Licensing agreement are not eligible.

 

So now you ask, “How do you get your copy of the SBS 2003 R2 Upgrade Media Kit?”

 

1. Retain Proof-of-Purchase Information and Locate Certificate of Authenticity: Upon purchasing on or after March 1, 2006, please retain all relevant documents for the proof-of-purchase, including but not limited to your invoice. Please also locate your Certificate of Authenticity of the product that should be adhered to your server chassis. You will need this information when requesting the Upgrade Media Kit. For information on locating your Certificate of Authenticity, see https://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/default.mspx.

2. Visit the following site to place your order for the Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 Upgrade Media Kit.

In addition, the order process and fulfillment of the Media Kit will be managed by one of our partners. https://upgradeweb.moduslink.com

3. Eligible customers must order the Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 Upgrade Media Kit by the following dates:
