Anyone knows if windows update keeps working after the one year licence of WinServer 2008 Promotional Edition expires ?

Thanks.

I don't know what promotion you got it through. If it works for a year it should continue to work.

What promotion did you get it through?

It's not a normal edition sold at a promotional price. It's a one-year-limited license version that will keep working after the license expires. What I don't know is whether windows update will keep working after the license has expired.

Every promotional copy I ever got worked for as long as I had it installed. I have promo copies of Windows Vista that are still working after 3 years. It should be good.

That would be great... are you sure your license-expired promo copies of Vista can still download updates with windows update?
