From: mark-docendo on 5 May 2010 13:51 I have used the trial software from Microsofts site of SBS 2008 which is SP1 I have done all updates but it hasnt gone to SP2 should I do this manually?? Also as its a trial I was just going to purchase Lic and add key is this OK or should I pruchase Media and resetup again? Any Advice would be appreciated Thanks - Mark
From: Jim on 5 May 2010 14:21 I've had problems installing SP2 in the past too. You've really got to do all the Updates and restart and then check again ......and again.. It'll only offer SP2 when *all* the other Updates have been installed. Have you switched to get more Microsoft Updates from the internet, always the first thing to do these days.. Jim.

Hello Mark, Thanks for your post and Jim's input. This software is for evaluation and testing purposes. Evaluating Windows Small Business Server 2008 does not require that you activate the product or enter a product key. If you need more time to evaluate the software, you can reset (or rearm) the 60-day evaluation period up to three times, extending the original 60-day evaluation period by up to 180 days, for a total possible evaluation time of 240 days. How to extend the Windows Server 2008 evaluation period http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948472 After the evaluation period ends, you need to uninstall the software or upgrade to a fully licensed version of Windows Small Business Server 2008.
