Does anyone know what happends if you dont activate a Windows 2003 Server and let the time run out? I have an MSDN Subscription, and have almost used all of my 10 alotted activations, I have 2 server that I will most likely have to rebuild, so I am holding off on activating them just in case, because I am assuming that if I use up all 10 of my activations and then later blow away and rebuild my 2003 server, I wont be able to activate the newly rebuilt server as all 10 on the activations have been previously used. Thanks for any help on this...

If you let the time run out When you try to login it will ask you to activation is needed to run windows server 2003 if you hit cancel it will shut down your computer you have to activate it when the time runs out or it won't let you in the desktop
