mac address problem

I have bought a friends old copy of small business server 2000, and have
installed it, my problem is this, it is saying cant find the mac address,
which i assume is the network card that it was originally assigned to on his
old machine. He has taken off his machine and has upgraded to 2003, I have
bought it so as I can use it learning how to do the 70/270 exam. I have hit
a wall and dont know how to get my network card enabled with SBS2000.
I have a floppy that enables 5 licences for the old card, so I would assume
that even if I got my network card enabled and seen, that the 5 licence
agreement would still be looking at the old network cards. How secure is
this software? He has told me that he had a nightmare when he had to change
over to a new server, as all new cards etc didn't work in tha same way as I
am having. I think he ended up giving up and buying 2003. Surely there
must be a way of transferring from one server to another without to much
hassle?
Any help is appreciated

apologies for the cross post but it's the easiest way for me to follow the
thread.
Thanks

my next question is pretty simple, didn't realise that small business server
2003 was so cheap, thought it was like £800, but seen a few adds offering it
for £200, is that about right, or if anyone knows a better place to buy
please let me know.
