I am trying to test W2K8 Enterprise Server on an HP ProLiant DL360 G5 using the HP SmartStart assisted integration. SmartStart, however, doesn't know about the trial program and will not allow me to proceed without entering an activation key.Hence, my question: Instead of a trial without activating the product, is there a "dummy" activation key available that is valid yet only useful for the trial period? If so, what is this key?Thanks,Matthiasmschwarz@ci.milpitas.ca.gov

You can use the KMS Client Key as in the VA 2.0 Deployment Guidehttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=81D1CB89-13BD-4250-B624-2F8C57A1AE7B&displaylang=en Windows Server 2008 Datacenter 7M67G-PC374-GR742-YH8V4-TCBY3 Windows Server 2008 Datacenter without Hyper-V 22XQ2-VRXRG-P8D42-K34TD-G3QQC Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems 4DWFP-JF3DJ-B7DTH-78FJB-PDRHK Windows Server 2008 Enterprise YQGMW-MPWTJ-34KDK-48M3W-X4Q6V Windows Server 2008 Enterprise without Hyper-V 39BXF-X8Q23-P2WWT-38T2F-G3FPG Windows Server 2008 Standard TM24T-X9RMF-VWXK6-X8JC9-BFGM2 Windows Server 2008 Standard without Hyper-V W7VD6-7JFBR-RX26B-YKQ3Y-6FFFJ Windows Web Server 2008 WYR28-R7TFJ-3X2YQ-YCY4H-M249D MVP Setup and Deployment - http://www.forum-microsoft.org
