Xserve Cluster Node Server Wrong Purchase

[Brian Willoughby]

Hi Lyn.  Just buy a new copy of Mac OS X Server 10.4 and be done with  
it.  I'm not sure that you can install Client on a Cluster Node  
anyway.  Looks like you didn't get the original materials when  
purchasing used.  Hopefully, you got a good price used, so the cost  
of Mac OS X Server shouldn't break the bank.

Actually, the machine serial number works fine. It's the Mac OS X  
10.4 Client serial number that isn't working when entering it via  
Server Assistant.

Called Apple and they tell me that Software Serial Number I'm  
entering is invalid, but they can't provide a new number without an  
original purchase receipt. Unfortunately, this is a used machine and  
getting my hands on an original purchase receipt seems remote.

This is beginning to get a little frustrating.
