Howdy y'all, I downloaded the 2008 R2 eval ISO but it didn't give me those 180 days...where do I get a product key to activate for that time period? After installing it requires me to activate within 10 days. I registered with M$ to be able to get the download but didn't receive an email from them with a product key that would allow the trial. How can I get this product key for 180 days trial period???

Please contact your local vendor for Microsfot Licensing. Thanks http://technetfaqs.wordpress.com

Hi,When you click on the activate windows now, at the system properties page than follow the promt.keys is not needed.Don't worry as you are using eval version.Is should work.

Thanks everyone, I don't know why I didn't think of that one!
