I know with Server 2003, MS used to email you a product key for trial
versions. I have now downloaded Server 2008 Trial Version and have no product
key. Anyone know how to get one?
 
Thanks Dave.
It would be nice if Microsoft told you that

Hmm, I know it should work like you said, but I've just made a clean
installation of MS Windows Server 2008 today, I chose Standard Server and no
product key. After installation and login I see only the activation screen
saying "Windows license has expired". What's wrong?

You might check your BIOS's date settings to make sure they're accurate.
Just a thought, since the trial expires after a certain date and may
be seeking a license after that date.
