Well,
i just found out that open media was not ordered for a job we are doing now.

So i have a question.

I have read on a few different sites that you can download SBS2008 PREM.
Trial and enter your open license key later to convert to a running server.

I called MS and they could not confirm or deny that it works.
They can't find anything that says it will not work, but in the same
time they can not find anything that it will work.

Any First Hand experience doing this?
If it does work, any gotchas?

NOTE: I did order the media, it just will not be here in time.
AND the client is getting SBS2008 Standard not PREM.

Any help would be great Thanks!!

Vito

It works.

Install it without a key, key it later.
