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?
 
Re: Is there a Eval key?...

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

Meinolf Weber
