79. Do I have virtualization rights when I buy Small Business Server 2011?
Yes. You have rights to install Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition in a VM as a guest OS. Small Business
Server 2011 Standard Edition as a Hyper-V host is not supported. This capability is available with Small Business
Server 2011 Premium Add-on.

81. Is Small Business Server 2011 a 32-bit or 64-bit OS, or both?
Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition, Premium Add-on, and Essentials Editions are 64-bit systems only.
82. Can you downgrade from Small Business Server 2011 to a prior version of Small Business Server?
No. If the customer wants Small Business Server, and they need to run an application that’s only supported on
Windows Server 2003 R2, then:
• If they are already running the application, they should leave that server alone, and add an Small Business Server
2011 server. If AD is running on the Windows Server 2003 R2 server, then the customer may want to transfer the
AD settings to Small Business Server 2011. The Small Business Server 2011 documents include a section on
migrating from Small Business Server 2003 to Small Business Server 2011, which covers how to migrate a
Windows Server 2003 R2 AD domain to Small Business Server 2011.
• If they are not already running the application, then they should run the app under Windows Server 2003 R2 in a
VM, either on a second server or on the Small Business Server (with Small Business Server also running in a VM).
It is best that they have a VAR advise them on how to do this.
For downgrade from Small Business Server 2011 to Small Business Server 2008:
• There is no fulfillment process for FPP or OEM Small Business Server 2011 customers to obtain downgrade
media/keys for Small Business Server 2008.
• Open License Small Business Server 2011 customers may obtain downgrade Small Business Server 2008
media/keys via VLSC.
• An FPP or OEM Small Business Server 2011 customer may reuse the software and key from a previously
purchased Small Business Server 2008 license under downgrade rights for a newly purchased Small Business
Server 2011 license. Whenever reusing previously purchased software/key to fulfill downgrade rights for a new
license, a customer will be prompted to phone a Microsoft Activation Center. When they explain they are reusing
the software/key under downgrade rights for a new license, the Microsoft Activation Center will provide them
with an activation code.
Here are the most common Small Business Server downgrade scenarios:
• Replace/Upgrade an Small Business Server 2008 server: in this case, the customer should continue using Small
Business Server 2008, but needs to upgrade or replace the server it’s running on. They should buy an Small
Business Server 2011 license with the new server. If they licensed Small Business Server 2011 via FPP or OEM,
then they should reuse their existing Small Business Server 2008 media/key to install on the new server,
activating it via phone activation as described above. The Small Business Server 2008 documentation explains
how to migrate to Small Business Server 2008 from Small Business Server 2008.
