Yes I think it is because I am not sure what i need, up till now I always used bundles of software from a dealer near me and then I found out it would be much faster and eficiant to load by setting up a server with the XP Mode server by the specs in the classes, You see before that i always hand loaded everything and now msn has given me a list of number for when my server is complete and i will only have to pay for what i use. The problem is I seem to understand how to use the server just fine it is how to choose the right oem numbers and placing them properly so I dont make a mess of things or wind up paying 3 times or what ever may happenn. As a matter of fact i am so afraid of this method of loading my software off the web i am about to just keep doing it the old slow way. am having trouble understanding how to identify myself with the number they give me i know it is a combo of my perminate numbers or customer number and the software numbers i just cant figure it out. I have been doing this for years but the old fashion hand loading method. I am not the brightest star in the sky. But maybe you guys can point me to the right direction to figure this all out.. I want to thank you all for being so nice and helpful for everything. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

This is an Exchange Server forum. You might want to post your question in an XP forum or the most appropriate forum for whatever operating system it is you're trying to activate. Also, you might clearly state exactly what it is you're trying to do and what you are seeing. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .
