Hi everyone,
I have license keys for both W3K Standard and W3K Standard R2.
I have media only for W3K Standard.
I want to install W3K Standard R2.
What do I do?

Thanks

Get a copy of the media - I think it's only about $30 or so from MS.

I would installed the W3K Standard first and then download and run the
Service Pack.  R2 is nothing more than a service pack, right?

I hope you are right, but if that's the case why do I have two separate
license keys?
Do I have to use the second key (R2) to install the update?

The R2 license key comes into play when installing Disk 2.

If I recall right licenses for Win 2k3 allow you to run R2. R2 is just a
feature pack. Not really a service pack.
