I just purchased 10 Windows Server 2008 CALs that I expected to install in my windows server 2003 machine. I received the emails from the vendor and Microsoft. I have an Authorization Number and License Number.
I go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Terminal Server Licensing then right click on my server and click Install Licenses. After clicking Next once it tells me to type the license key pack ID in the boxes below. I don't have a license key pack ID!
What do I do and where do I get it? I have gone to Microsoft's Volume Licensing Center and looked under the product keys section but it tells me that no volume license keys were found.
Now what do I do?

OK. If you check out this link, it clearly states that 2003 downgrade rights come with 2008 licenses.
All I had to do was call Microsoft's activation line and they have me the key pack ID. Thanks for you help guys.
