Do we have OEM or Retail Server 2008 installed on our servers?!

[R.O.S.S.I]

Hi all just wondering if there is a quick way of finding out if we have the OEM or Retail versions of Windows Server 2008 installed on our servers?

I have no supporting documentation with the servers, or any of the installation media that came with them so i'm not sure.

They were purchased from HP though so I suspect they came with the OEM OS installed but would just like to be sure.

I've also had a quick look on the cases and cant see any windows authentication stickers on them saying Retail or OEM.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Yeh I gathered that but i'm not too sure if it did come with it preinstalled or not (pretty sure it did but would like to check).

I cant find any restore discs for it etc.

In the system properties(Start>Right Click 'Computer'>Properties) Is it branded HP anywhere in there with HP contact information?

Nope.

Oops sorry, I knew it wasnt the CD Key but wasnt sure if it was some sort of unique identifier for my product.

The Product ID is....

55041-098-5034295-76937
and on my other server
55041-339-0011084-76235

And Jelly Bean Key Finder reports that both my servers were installed from 'Volume' media.

I'd assume that means volume licensed? Not got a scooby do where they were purchased from or where the license information is!
