Hello, I know that this may sound like a bit of an ignorant question and that is because it is. I am an IT student looking to expand on some of my server knowledge and was wondering if there is any such thing as student licensing for Windows Server 2003/2008, preferably 2008. It is much easier to learn on a live environment that is not hosted in a corporate setting and I would not need much in the way of CAL’s etc… but was wondering if such a thing exists for the Server OS license. Any help, advice or even an alternative solution to this would be very much appreciated. Sincerely, Max
