I have an MSDN Subscription and I am testing Windows 2008 on a test pc. I have just finished installing Windows 2008 and I noticed that there is a message in Control Panel->System that shows under Windows Activation '3 Day(s) until Automatic Activation. Activate Windows Now. When I click on the link I see Activate Windows Now, you must activate Windows within 60 days to continue using all Windows features: Activate Windows online now or Ask me later I choose ask me later but I still see the message about 3 days until automatic actitivation. Will it really automaitcally activate in 3 days? I just need to use it to test on our software and need about 10-15 days without activating it. To evaluate Windows Server 2008, either download a trail version or use a retail or msdn copy without entering the product key during installation. When you dont enter a product key, it will ask you to conform your selection and will work without activation for the first 60 days. In your scenario, since you have already installed, you could try removing the product key and entering a blank product key (not sure if it works with msdn copy) or re-run the trail setup. You might also consider executing slmgr.vbs -rearm every three days to ensure it doesnt activate for the next three days. (schedule a windows job). Not the best of suggestions, but its all i can think of. Best is to contact MS Activation team and request them to provide a trail product key compatible with MSDN copy of windows 2008. You have to be polite and pleasant though (atleast in india:) ) - thought this might be useful.
