I have a server running an evaluation copy of sever 2008 standard. The max number of times to rearm the software has been reached. I have purchased windows server 2008 r2 enterprise edition. It is being developed. II have 2 businesses running on the eval copy of 2008 standard. I have been told it can not be extended. Will I lose my data if I can not get a work around to the evaluation copy issue? The new server with the new software is not ready to go online at this time. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Hello, get the new server working asap and move the required data. No other option is available after the max. of rearms. How can you use an evaluation version for a production server? They are made for testing, not for use in productivity netowrks to avoid exact your problems.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
