Anybody had trouble installing 2016 SNL on 2008 Server?

We currently have a server running 2011 Microsoft Server which from what I am told is an upgrade from 2008 Server.  Tried to load 2016 SNL but it does not like 2008 Server.  Even though the Server is at 2011 Solidworks recognizes it as 2008.  We cannot upgrade to Server 2012 because of other issues right now.  We cannot move the SNL to another machine because of a link to our office in Dallas.
