I have downloaded the 4 DVD images to install SBS 2008 Premium trial to my
new server. When the trial period ends, I know that I can supply the server
with purchased license key codes to activate SBS. My question is can I use
the SBS 2008 Premium trial but then only purchase SBS 2008 Standard to
activate. I do not need the Premium features and I'll only have a single
server, so I will not be installing any of those unnecessary features to
begin with.



Thanks.

Ken

There is no difference in the SBS Server portion between Premium and
Standard. Premium is entirely a second server and SQL license and makes no
changes to the main SBS server. The keys for the SBS server are the same
regardless. If you've downloaded Premium, but only want standard, then
simply don't install the second server or SQL.
