Hello nic,

 

I think you have to activate and then get the 180 days.

 

Best regards

Hello,

Correct. You have the activation grace period which is 14 days, you should

have an evaluation product key which you should activate with.

You have the evaluation time period which is 180 days. Start Run Winver to

see the evaluation time period expiration.

Thanks,
