SBS R2 Retail Box Upgrade Matrix

Earlier today there was a question on the price to upgrade via Retail Box from SBS 2003 SP1 Premium to SBS R2 Premium, so I thought I would post this graphical representation of the Retail Box Upgrade paths to get to SBS R2 from currently existing SBS versions if your customer chooses the Retail Box path to purchase:

(Click image to enlarge)

So in answer to the question posted above (price of SBS 2003 SP1 Premium to SBS R2 Premium), if you follow the arrow in the chart above from SBS 2003 SP1 Premium to SBS R2 Premium, you will see the ERP of $699 listed along that arrow. So, the ERP to upgrade via Retail Box from SBS 2003 SP1 Premium to SBS R2 Premium is $699.

You can follow other paths from different versions to see what the ERPs of those Retail Box options are based on your current scenario.

Thank you and have a wonderful day,
