Windows Server 2003

Hello -

I know this isn't the proper forum for these questions, but I couldn't find
the appropriate group. (Can anyone point me to the Server 2003 group?)

I purchased Windows Server 2003. I had been using a trial version on one of
my computers and it expired.

1. Can I just pop the disk into my old computer and install my purchased
copy? I had a triple-boot system consisting of Server 2003, Windows 98 and
NT4. Will it automatically know where to install? Any problems with losing
the stuff I had been running in Server 2003?

2. Can I also use the purchased copy to install on my new computer? In
other words, does the licensing allow two installations?

ANY help at all will be greatly appreciated!

What does your licence agreement say?
