If it were a volume key instead this would not have happened. This is how DELL (and Microsoft) prevents you from being able to use their OS CD to install windows on some other system. You need a volume license or non-OEM license.

It is the second part of the answer above. You need to get a new license key. Microsoft OEM licenses do not transfer which means you can only use that CD key for the hardware that it came installed on.

The tranfered server starts up but then I am asked to input the verification number.
