We are currently running an SBS 2011 Standard Server(A). We have Premium Add-on Licence and have installed SQL server on the same SBS 2011 Server. We have installed Windows 2008 R2 Standard on another server(B).

We plan to buy a new server with Windows Server 2012 Standard. This will be the PDC in the future. SBS2011 will be un-installed.

Can I continue to use the Windows 2008 R2 Server from the Premium Add-on on server (B) even when the SBS 2011 domain server is un-installed and re-purposed? Can I install the Premium Add-on's SQL Server for Small Business 2008 on the Windows 2008 R2 Server(B)?

Thank you.

From http://www.dell.com/downloads/us/bsd/bsd/SBS_Premium_Add-on%20Datasheet_Final.pdf :

Q. Are there any restrictions for the server technologies included in the Windows Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-on?

A. There are no restrictions at all. You get full access to all SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard technologies. To ensure full access, the installation process includes a domain check to verify that SBS 2011 Standard or Essentials is present.
