I'm trying to install Win Server 2003 R2 (enterprise ed.) in a virtual pc 2007 (running on my Vista Ultimate) but the Subscription Product Key that I've requested (in my subscription web page) in not valid!
When I type it in the installer's form (the 5 fields) it say: The Product Id you entered is not valid :(.
How can I do?

Thank you for contacting the MSDN Online Concierge, Nicolo
21.52.55 Dennis
May I have the product key to validate if it's really an invalid one?
21.53.09 Nicolo

Thank you. One moment please

My tool indicates it's a valid MSDN version of product key for Windows Server 2003 Enterprise. No worries, Nicolo, let's start from the very beginning. Where did you get the installation media? From MSDN Subscriber Downloads as well?
21.56.58 Nicolo
To install the server R2, I've made the Installer CD from the iso images contained in the march 2006 cd shipped to me. Disk n° 2941.2
21.58.49 Dennis
There are two versions of Windows Server 2003 media available from MSDN shipments, one is Volume License (name of the ISO image should be Windows Server 2003 Volume License), the other is retail without "Volume License" contained in the ISO image name. All the product keys available from MSDN are retail keys, if you use a retail key to install a Volume License version of Product, the "invalid key" error message will appears. Can you make sure you try the proper media?
21.59.23 Nicolo
ohhh! I see...
21.59.34 Nicolo
so i'd better check it!
21.59.46 Nicolo
ops!
21.59.57 Nicolo
i've used the volume license!
22.00.28 Dennis
OK, never mind. Can you find out retail media?
22.00.39 Nicolo
i'm checking...
22.00.55 Dennis
If it's difficult to find it out at present, you can conveniently download it from MSDN Subscriber Downloads
22.01.29 Nicolo
maibe is this:
22.01.41 Nicolo
disk 2939.1?
22.02.09 Dennis
Please give me a moment to double check on this
22.02.27 Nicolo
it has the same items but without the Volume Lic. Version text
22.02.34 Nicolo
yes, thanks
22.04.33 Dennis
Is it a green one?
22.04.41 Nicolo
yes
22.04.50 Dennis
I believe it's just the media you need
