Hello, I downloaded Windows Server 2008 trial version but the problem is that I no longer have the product key for it. IO have checked on my confirmation email but i think i accidentally deleted it.

Hi Patmasil, from which source did you download it? The trial version does not need a product key. Best regards Thomas

From this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/trial-software.aspx

There is no product key provided with the trial version and you do not need one to install it. In the event the 30 day trial expires before you have finished with your research you can extend the trial period 3 times from a command window with elevated privileges using: Slmgr -rearm If you purchase a full product license, or volume license you can enter that CD key and you will not have to reinstall. That is done using: Slrmgr /ipk <CD key> and to activate Slmgr /atoRob Williams

You should be able to evaluate this software for 180 days.
