Where or how do you enter CALs on a MS Windows 2003 R2 Server ?
With the SBS2003 (R1) it's "Server Managment Console(?)" -> "License" and then just enter the key of the CAL and activate it by internet or phone, simple.
Now with the R2 (without the SBS package) I got "System Control" -> "Licensing" it just lists a "Windows Server" license and I can happily add licenses in any amount I like, no question if I want to activate anything. Downside, it's all gone when the server reboots.
There's an option to change the licensing model, but with the warning that I can only change it once.
So before I screw that server, where do I enter those CAL codes? Or is it just that other licensing option ?
The Server just runs a MS SQL2005 database. Works fine, just a bit worried about the lack of entering key-codes etc.
