Availability of Windows 2003 Server

Wednesday, June 09, 2010

With Microsoft's upcoming transition from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008, partners and customers may find it increasingly difficult to purchase copies of Windows Server 2003 which is the required software version to deploy timecentre tc v.7.2

Microsoft recognizes that some applications still require Windows 2003 Server and have put in place a program that allows a customer to purchase a copy of Windows 2008 and then legally downgrade it to Windows 2003.

Microsoft states: "Included with a Windows Server 2008 license is the right to run an instance of any previous version of Windows Server (also referred to as a downgrade or downgrade instance) in place of an instance of Windows Server 2008"

This process is described in detail at the following link:

Partners and customers should contact their Microsoft reseller for further information.
