I'm running SBS 2000 in a 25 user office. I was reviewing our disaster recory
plan and noticed that we do not have the orignial SBS 2000 installation CD
Media. My company got the server thru a reseller who is out of business and
the person I took over from has no clue about the CD's. We do have the
invoices and the CAL floppies.

Can I get the CD media from Microsoft?

I do have a trial version of SBS 2000 and thought I saw someplace that it
could be upgrade/activated to the licensed version ?

Best thing to do would be to call microsoft and explain the situation.

Don't like your chances of getting a replacement though if you don't
have the CD key. Having an invoice doesn't prove that someone didn't
give it away, resell or steal it, and MS are obviously not responsible
for that. If you bought it through open license then you can jut buy a
new copy of the media.
