Hi Doing a migration lab where I must migrate from win 2003 to win 2008. The big problem is - no trial on microsoft.com or MSDN with valid key. So the installation stops - it says "please enter a valid key" and I cant skip this step. Anyone? :0)

If you have a subscription to MSDN, you can download windows 2003 keys from there. Check this similar thread. Thanks

I have just looked into our MSDN repository and found en_win_srv_2003_r2_standard_x64_cd1.iso en_win_srv_2003_r2_standard_x64_cd2.iso en_win_srv_2003_r2_enterprise_x64_cd1.iso en_win_srv_2003_r2_enterprise_x64_cd2.iso There are newer versions with SP2 as well. There is plenty of keys (at least in my case- 1500), and you have to ask for more keys if you run out off the keys pool, or use VL version. Regards Milos

Ditto for a TechNet Subscription. Believe me, it pays for itself.
