Is there a Eval key?...

[Guest Eric Miller]

I am installing WN2008 trial, but it's asking for a install key. There was

nothing mention on the download page that I needed one, but the install

screen mention about losing data and programs if I don't use one. Is this

just talking about after the intial 60days?

Hello Eric,

 

As MS said:

 

Activating Your Trial: This software is for evaluation and testing purposes.

Evaluating Windows Server® 2008 software does not require product activation

or entering a product key. Any edition of Windows Server 2008 may be installed

without activation and evaluated for an initial 60 days.

 

If you need more time to evaluate Windows Server 2008, the 60 day evaluation

period may be reset (or re-armed) three times, extending the original 60

day evaluation period by up to 180 days for a total possible evaluation time

of 240 days.

After this time, you will need to uninstall the software or upgrade to a

fully licensed version of Windows Server 2008.

 

Best regards
