    It seems to be getting harder to use this method. Perhaps people who have overcome this adversity can comment.

    It would be useful to know when trying a different proxy might help, or leaving it for a few hours and coming back when the uni server is back up to service the request would be more productive

    I often get either a time-out or a proxy error page after the verify button is pressed.

    In these cases, would trying a different proxy do anything other than swallowing up time ?
    Am based in the UK if it helps.

    it is a hit and miss process. The proxy servers are unreliable, and even if you do manage to get through I don't think any of the user names and passwords on the front page work anymore.

    Your biggest hurdle is the proxy server, and a lot of times the ldap server on the Chinese doesn't respond to queries either.

    I was able to get two keys a week ago but now in reading recent post guessing they are only for Standard Edition, tho I reinstalled my test installation that was Enterprise and used Standard instead and the keys still fail (says 'will not work with this edition of Win Server'. I think it might be bcus I downloaded a build that is Without Hyper-V or ??
    here is name of torrent i got :
    6002.18005.090410-1830_amd64fre_ServerV_en-us-KRTMSXWOH_EN_DVD.iso

    anyone have any suggestion or link to where i can get a copy that will work with my generated keys? I need this as trying the use Windows Server 2008 as Workstation method

    Yes, "without Hyper-V" are different SKUs and require different keys.

    Thank you for this method! I just tried it today, it worked without an issue! I did not use a proxy.
