Guest Bruce Wilkinson Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 RE: Server 2008 install-generic activation error I also posted a note to the vista general discussion group about a File Transfer Manager download problem. The install/activation problem described here is from Server 2008 downloaded from Technet > TechCenters > Resources for IT Professionals > Downloads. After further digging, it looks like I tried to use a TechNet Subcriber product key on a trial version of Server 2008. My only real problem is getting File Transfer Manager to work on Vista.
