Client pack problem

Gezzzz...... I've been on hold for the past 2 hours waiting for a MS
tech. Anyway, I'm doing a re-install of SBS 2000 on a new machine. When
I go to add the cleint license pack, I have 4 of them, 2 work fine one
ask for some sort of password and the other says I've exceed the license
that this was intended for.

Any thoughts? Or do I have to rot on hold for the rest of my life?

If you are installed in a new server with a new internal NIC, you'll need to
contact MS to get an "unlock" code. The CALs are tied to the MAC address of
the server's NIC (they server they were originally installed on). If
brought over the NIC from the old server, you should be able to pop in the
last disk you installed and it should bring you back up to the correct
number of CALs.
