i ordered new hp server microsoft sever 2012 datacenter.  supports unlimited virtual machines.  setting datacenter 2012 have hyper-v 2012 role only, create virtual servers under hyper-v.  question is, want run server 2008 r2 datacenter on vm's, , don't have licensing server 2008 r2, since still on sbs 2003.  thought datacenter 2012 has downgrade rights server 2008 r2 datacenter.  doing compatibility reasons software use, exchange 2010, etc.  cals purchased 2012 cals, convert 2008.  in future, upgrade vm's 2012 along cals.  need verification on wanting do, , correct way of doing it.  hp giving me run around right now, , said work when purchased.  thanks

yes, have downgrade rights.  however, don't media , activation keys 2008 purchasing 2012.  best bet contact microsoft licensing - www.microsoft.com/licensing.  there phone numbers there can talk real people need.
