Will the hardware key be changed?

Dear All,

In a Server SBO 2005 B is installed. Now if I uninstall it and freshly install SBO 2007 B will the hardware key be changed?

Hardware key should be no change. However, why do you need a refresh install in first place? Upgrade will be a better option.

Thanks,

Gordon

Hi,

I always go for complete 2005 uninstall and a brand new 2007 installation.

I never had a change in the hardware key, but hey, you never know with computers, and you don't want to be stuck just because you can't request a new key, correct?

Cheers

Hi Narottam,

Instead of uninstalling SBO 2005 B, just upgrade the server with 2007 B.
