We're installing an OEM version of Server 2003 onto a Dell server that is currently empty. When the install asks for the key, it replies that the Volume License key entered is invalid. We've triple-checked what we entered and the key matches what's on the label.

I found an MS Technet site that lists keys for OEM's to use for installs and entered the key listed there and it rejects that one as well.

The software was bought off of eBay from a reputable seller, so this should be a valid copy. Is there something we're missing?
