Developer version of Windows 2003

[Guest tshad]

Is there a way to get a Developer version of Windows 2003?

 

I am trying to play with Active directory and Sql Server 2005 for

certifications and can't really afford to purchase a couple copies of it. I

think it used to come with the Developer version of Sql Server 2000 but not

sure if it is still available for this purpose.

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

The Developer version that you refer to is from MSDN subscription (you must

pay for it).

 

You should try to get evaluation version at:

Actually, we never had an MSDN subscription. The W2K3 came with the

developer version of Sql Server 2000.

That would be another way around it.

 

What is the time limit on it?
