Autenticate using different key

[RCorrigan]

I have installed the basics of a W2K3 R2 Premium Server using an MS Action Pack CD Key ----- this has not yet been authenticated (or even connected to the internet)

I now have the Media for the sever, is there anyway that I can change the product key that it will try to activate with?

Not sure about R2, but on the MS web-site or the server (don't remeber exactly where) there should be a way to do a manual activation. From what I remember you call a phone number, supply the Key, and over the phone you get a sequence of characters to enter on the server.

I think it can be done when you try to activate the server. Select activate by phone and i believe you can change the product key at that point, its a link near the bottom of the window. Sort of what WhoKilledKenny stated.
