OEM key sub or trial install

[ccsi]

Have a client getting a new server who informed us 30 minutes ago they want to take possession today (Dec 31) and install tomorrow (Jan 1). All is good except their OEM 2003 Std Svr won't arrive until Jan 2.

Is there any solution other than installing the 2003 Std Svr Trial and then ordering licenses after the fact? Any way to swap an OEM key? Install the OEM as a trial? Install the trail and use an OEM key to activate? Install an Action Pack NFR and then swap the key? Anything?

Thanks.

If you install a trial version, it cannot be upgraded to a full version, it has to be reinstalled completely with the full version disc. I would suggest waiting until Jan 2nd.
