Transfer Windows 2008 R2 License

[ddonoro]

Is there any kind of way to transfer a W2K8R2 license key from a server to another?

 

I have searched Microsoft License webpage and study slmgr.vbs but I can't find the way to do it, if exists.

 

Thank you

You can uninstall on the old server and then install on the new. You will have to call Microsoft to transfer the key. If the key is from an OEM install then it is tied to the server it was installed on. If it is a retail key then you can activate on another server as long as you call Microsoft to activate.
