    In desperate need of 6 keys

    Good day all. I have spent the better part of a week trying to get 6 activation keys needed desperately. Would someone be able to generate these for me? I would be eternally grateful to any and all that can assist. I have 6 machines that I really need them for.

    Also, Happy Valentine's to all.

    6 machines might be too many, but most of the time you can actually activate multiple machines from the same MAK key, you just have to do phone activation.

    If anyone has one key, I would greatly appreciate it. I've tried hooking up to the site as well using several different proxies to no avail. or if there is another method working, that would be great, as well. Thanks guys.

    I forgot, I would need the key for Enterprise Server 2008. Thanks again.

    Sbs 2008

    Hi guys, will the 08 key work with SBS 08... I ask because it says that the premium edition has the standard edition 08 server... with everything on top.

    Now this is prob just marketing, but would be nice to know if it would work.


    Anyone tested this?

    SBS2008 doesn't support any kind of Volume licensing. Only specific OEM and Retail keys can activate it.

    I'll second that. If anyone has any keys available, please let me know. I have a legit 2K3 Datacenter I would be willing to trade. I'm done with the software and have moved on to Server 2008 Enterprise. Thanks in advance.

    i managed to get a key a while back, but i have questions regarding such:

    - do the keys obtained work with the retail version of server 2008, or the corporate version?
    - how many activations is the key good for?

    Theyre good only for the retail/trial version and only one activation.

    They are good for ANY version. Do not listen to the people that tell you it is only good for retail/trial. Windows 6 is not like XP/Server 2003 where there are different keys for different types. There are 3 types of keys for Vista: standard keys that come with retail software, OEM keys, and MAK/KMS keys. MAK keys come with a certain number of activations, but can be used on any type of install. So if you installed a retail copy then used a MAK key it would take it, since there are no corporate versions of Server 2008 any Std/Enterprise MAK key will work on a Std/Enterprise version. These are 1 activation only but if you do the phone activation when it says that too many activations have been reached it will give you a code to activate it, thus giving you more than 1 install. I have the same MAK key installed on 3 servers.

    No I guess wrong there mate, of course there are "corporate" versions of Server 2008, the ISO I downloaded from MSDN (the one without Hyper-V) would only accept MAK/KMS keys, none of the retail and OEM keys I had worked. It was a volume licensing version.
    The key I got from this topic is "retail-like" or youre telling me it is the MAK/KMS type ?

    I have Standard x64 installed. I've tried installing the OEM_SLP on the machine (it's a Dell) and it's a no go. It keeps saying it's rejected. I have 0 days left and no rearms left. I'm afraid to restart my machine. If a power failure occurs I'm royally screwed.

    It's a single activation "mak" key, you can only use it once to activate

    need key please

    I understand it would be a single activation key. Any key at this point would be appreceiated! I don't want to have to keep reinstalling, my 240 days is coming soon so I hope someone can send me a key. I tried again this morning and can't get to dreamspark through china proxy. So I'm assuming they shut this access off...not suprising. I have enterprise x64 2008 srvr.

    If you read some of the Tread, you would know that they closed the server down after a couple of months of downloads. You are more than a little late to the party.

    ;)
