I did reboot. I also did a verify and the number return valid (0).
Does the number need to be tied to any other data?
For example, I did notice that the originally entered serialNumber was
wrong, off by one character, the consultant typed a 2 instead of an s.
So I re-entered that number but it wasn't accepted. I had a copy of
Tiger Server Unlimited, that IS NOT in use, was purchased to upgrade
an G5 running as a server, but then the client decided to outsource
the server operations.
Since, I had that serial number with me and could verify it, I used it
instead. I know the number is not in use (or it shouldn't be), because
I just opened the box yesterday. The verification returns back
correctly, but still no 'Settings' in Server Admin.
Any other ideas. I'm trying to just have the server shipped; but just in case.
