Well, for now I'm just using the WHS 'folder duplication'.. it ensures that every folder is on atleast 2 drives... this is until I can afford a proper raid card, but, at the same time, I don't know how much a raid setup for 10+ drives would cost..
Probably a-lot! A good RAID card that supports 5 or 10 would be a couple hundred CDN. Then you're looking at 3/4 of each drive added up for your total drive space (if all drives are the same size). For RAID5 that is. RAID is nice though, hardware redundancy, hot swapping on SATA, and rebuild on the fly. I love it! 3-1TB Samsung F1s here in RAID5 for 2TB of space <-- rebuilt 1 drive already (kind of scary as only 4 months old * but I expect hardware to fail within the first 6 months anyways) Jonathan
lookink for a key Hello can anyone send me a server 2008 key please.For me the method doesn't work!! maxi
Humble Request I was wondering if there is a kind soul out there with a key for Server 2008 who doesn't need it anymore (or if they have extra). I have a project upcoming that looks to require some of the W2K8 functionality that I just don't have the personal funding to use on. I know how it must look, a new person joining and their first post is a request for a key. My timing was horrible during this entire process, so currently my only recourse is to cyberbeg. Thank you in advance for even reading this.
Hey guys, We're all waiting patiently for more keys. You're not the only ones. We're all just going to have to wait together. Begging isn't going to help anyone. Anyone running Win2K8 Server or a converted Vista super-workstation isn't just going to go back some other way. It just runs too good ! I'm sure the university will get more keys, or DreakSpark will come back up some time soon. Patience all! The amazing guys here at DL are working as hard as they can, and they will let us know what is going on Jonathan
Has anyone been sucessful in getting new keys lately? I've been trying, but the server still times out...
Don't worry everyone several of us out there continue to double check on the IDP university, if it comes back up we will let everyone know! Sorry it's down for the moment....
Back from the past, 3 kets left to donate *********** All the keys are GONE ************** next time someone throws a bone , when someone posts there all gone, please dont beg in a private message & ask for more.
HAHA I bet your were overflowing with PMs yesterday.... We'll keep trying everyone, still wonder since nothing has changed on Dreamspark, and they haven't removed it from the web, I wonder if that university set it to only do that internally, and ignore the outside requests... Guess time will tell, I will look for more University Username and Passwords, maybe we can be done with China and go to another Country
I remember posting an answer about this, but oddly it's gone? anyway, it's Chinese New Year now. Maybe the students are very active on the university's network. Give it some tmie.
Some people are stupid. Stupid enough to copy&paste their list of keys into a text document or what they think is a "private" web page which is available to google. Google this exact phrase in quotes, you'll find a few. "Std/Ent - MAK"
Hello, I succesfully activated a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise machine running in VMWare using a MLK found on the internet. I proceeded and installed Server 2008 on a diffrent (physical) machine, but when I tried to activate it using the same key I was greeted with an error saying the key had exceeded it's limit (doh!). Is there any way to transfer the activation from the VMWare machine, to the actual machine? Should I just try to de-activate the VMWare machine and and directley try to activate my other machine (seems risky).
okay guys Can some of you not read my posts in plain English ? I only offered 1 server 2008 key and 2x 2003 keys. a few days ago. I had it for while, and when I reply back saying I don't have any keys you missed the boat, you still repled back, begging for a key. WTF is wrong with you esp you "Iskhak" THERE IS NO MORE KEYS at this current time . I only decided to donate thoses keys because I dont have a use for them & because I got what I needed and shared tons of keys with the rest that was looking for them, when this method of get MAK keys was working. Its not my fault your slow to catch on. I must have spent hours making fake live accounts and giving them away, And many others on this forum did to, so don't piss off the hand that feeds you. SO to recap, any PMs looking for a key, I'LL publicly tear you a new one okay ? so pull your silver spoons out of your mouths spend your time learning on this forum about injecting slic info into your Main board bios to enjoy a OEM way of life. [rant] I have 4 license copies of Vista, but because I change my hardware around so much, its not worth dealing with MS & calling for something I already own is BS, OEM is the way to go. [/rant]
Nope, there's no any way to transfer the activation from the VMWare machine, to the actual machine, as well as between two actual machines, and activations' countdown of a MAK key is irreversible. Nonetheless, after the available number of activations for a certain key expired, you can still use phone activation a few times for this key.
you could try copying the tokens.dat from the vmware machien and use that trick, i was able to activate my system by doing that once with one of these mak keys. You Know the worst part about 1 activation, If these are really students, most students are learning the os, so when they tank it, they gotta get a new mak and remove/install the new mak to re-activate. talked to ms about that, the MAK keys(like these, they are avalable it US and other countrys students from what he said) turnes out that 2k8 sees re-activation as a FULL activation, so even the retail/OEM versions can be HELL to re-activate if you excede the activation limmit by changing hardware alot. lovely aint ms? starting to drive me(a life long dos/windows lover) to consider linux/bsd/solaris as a better alternitive to ms's activation crap.
Couple things...There are only 2 things holding you guys back from obtaining more keys; working chinese proxies and a chinese educational login to verify student status. Since day 1 I have been using a different login which is in the US and does not require me to use a chinese proxy since I reside in the US. This process continues to work as of today and I have obtained many keys. I was going to publicly provide details on how to do it on this forum, but I thought about it and figured it would only last a few days once the process becomes known to microsoft as I'm sure they monitor this site on a regular basis. So, I think the best way to do it is PM me if you want keys, but you must provide live logins so that I can fly through the process without it taking up too much of my time. I will email you the keys and delete them from my database. Give me a day or two to respond.
