Or is this just about testing the P-to-V process? If so, the P-to-V process should be functionally the same on Win2000 or Win2003 testing on Win2003 may be a functional compromise if it's just about vetting the procedure.Īlso, btw. I'm curious about the need to install a new Windows 2000 SP4 instance in order to P-to-V an existing Windows 2000 Server? Wouldn't you want to P-to-V the actual server with the operating system already sitting underneath the application. the Windows 2000 binaries, along with several other products, were unilaterally pulled from all Microsoft properties many years ago after Microsoft lost the Java lawsuit to Sun - because those products contained the Java-products built by Microsoft and subject to that lawsuit.Īside from that. Just an FYI on the trivia side of things.
