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.
