Windows Server - Licensing

What are the licensing requirements for upgrading Windows server 2003 to
windows server 2008 or 2008 r2??

Hello Dart,

You need the server license for the new OS, either Windows server 2008 or
Windows server 2008 R2 Standard, Enterprise or Datacenter edition.

Plus consider your user/device CALs and if you what your current licensing
arragenement is ( Software Assurance ?). Microsoft licensing is more than
happy to speak with for free on what your licensing requirements needs are.
