I've downloaded & installed Server 2008 R2 to use for study purposes but it
has expired after 10 days (auto shuts down after an hour). I have reset the
evaluation period using slmgr.vbs in system32 but it has only given me
another 10 days. The MS web site states 180 day trial which I'm sure is 60
days trial renewable twice, any ideas how I can get the full trial so I can
study for the 70-640 exam?

TIA, Jason

Hello Jazsnap,

You have to activate it to overcome the 10 days. Without activation this
is expected.

Thanks for the info Meinolf, I didn't realise trial versions also needed
to be activated.
