We as company just purchased this type of license "see below" for a new
server... it is 1 server license thinking we were sticking with SQL 2000...
"Microsoft® SQL CAL 2005 English OPEN No Level User CAL"

We are still running on another older server SQL 2000... We were going to
stick with SQL 2000 on the new server but decided to go with SQL 2005. We
then purchased 15 more 2005 user CALs.

My question is in eopen.microsoft.com it does not give me any kind of code
all it says is we are not up to date. Also when i run select ('licensetype')
it says disabled... do we have the wrong license or is there an extra step to
upgrade needed?

Thank you for your !

The best way to get a definitive answer is to call the licensing folks:

Licensing -VL Contact
(800) 426-9400
