Can we use Windows Server Standard 2012 license on Windows Server 2008 R2 to company where some applications do not work?

Hi support them.

We intend to buy a new license for Windows Server Standard 2012 that we have been informed of this business license Windows Server 2008 R2 are no longer available. But where some of our applications do not work on the new OS, can we still use the new license if we intend to install Windows Server Enterprise 2008 R2? Appreciate your response.
Best regards

    "SFC 3498 records" is something that the technical support engineers who are hired by Microsoft should download so that they can learn how sfc/scannow actually works rather than send people on wild goose prosecutions that will not work.

    Looks like you just download the first file in the list of files on my SkyDrive - look down the list for the sfcfiles.dll and download it.

    To fix your immediate problem, you need to download:

    Sfcfiles.dll

    And put it in the designated folders.

    If this file is missing, it is probably being quarantined (actually deleted) by your unspecified antivirus/antimalware software.

    If this is the case, AV software you are using is distressed and he can just delete it again.

    The OEM Versions of Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 all have no rights transfer.

    OEM of Windows versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    You will need to purchase a new license of full version. You can purchase a Windows 7 Professional OEM entirely new license and use the product key to activate it:

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)
