How to get right to downgrade to Windows Server 2008, if I buy window 2012 license

We need to buy Windows Server 2008 Enterprise X 64 Edition, unfortunately, is not available although wanted to confirm which edition of Windows Server 2012 devrais I buy to get the edition of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise X 64 Edition downgrade but I found the information in your FAQ document, mentioned in Q15 I have to buy Windows Server 2012 Standard for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise

Q15. If I want to use the bits from a previous version or edition, what are my options?

If you have Windows Server Datacenter edition 2012, you will have the right to downgrade your bits any earlier version or lower edition. If you have Windows Server 2012 Standard edition, you have the right to downgrade your forests to any previous version of Enterprise, Standard or Essentials editions.

The ability to execute downgrade bits do not change licensing or support the terms in which you use the product; rights of the purchased product (Windows Server 2012) will apply. This means that the license will continue to wear two physical processors and virtualization of the rights do not change.

Here are a few examples. License purchased

Downgraded version or edition

  • How to get rid of the fake windows security alert virus

    There was a virus on my laptop in the last two months. on the bottom taskbar, there's a red 'x' icon shield and whenever I try to go it takes me to the esentials Security page and he said: "the Security Center service is disabled" and it lights whenever I try to turn it on. also it doesn't let me access the internet or try to restore the laptop. I tried all solvents of spyware as spyware doctor and malware bytes, but it seems that I still have not had the problem again. help because this situation is greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Hello

    One way to solve the problem would be to backup your important data (redundancy) and then re - install
    Windows after formatting the drive. Check with the manufacturer of your system's support to see what you need to do
    that (and you probably already have what is necessary). You can buy the installation discs for Windows in the system
    machine cheaply if necessary since you already own windows.

    =====================================

    Another method would be to ensure that the malware is detected and deleted with internet access being
    restored.

    Try typing several times F8 as you start and select a Safe Mode with networking. If that works to proceed to the
    methods below. (You can try wired access and wireless if you have both available). If this does not work
    then use another computer to download the drivers and the necessary programs and transfer them to your machine
    on removable media.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however you must also run them
    the Windows when you can.

    It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: you want to update the drivers WiFi and wired (NIC).

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
