Can you help me with my software licensing question?

Hey, Quick question which I've be unable to find an answer to for some reason. Will Windows server 2008 license keys work with server 2008 R2?

Thanks,

    You won't have to buy new CAL's for R2 but you will have to buy R2 itself. A Server 2008 License key will not activate an instance of R2.

  2. no server 2008 R2 is a different product just like 2003 r2 was a different product than 2003
