I have purchased some 6 years ago the MSDN professional edition(I'm not sure
its valid today with that name) and I got all the operating systems with the
cd's. I never used the Windows 2003 Advanced Server and I'd like to install
and use it now. My questions-
1. Is it legal?
2. Is it technically possible?

Thanks fro any reference
Ronny

Yes, so long as you only use it for development and testing, as per your
orignal MSDN license.

Yes, so long as you still have any product key that is needed when you
install it.
