    Would someone be kind enough to PM me a key for win server 2008 R2. Every time I try to get to that site it times out when I try straight through and via proxy. What the heck am I doing wrong.

    I would greatly appreciate it.

    thx

    You lack the emagic touch...
    Unlikely somebody gives you single activation MAK... WHEN YOU COULD DO IT YOURSELF

    Try again

    there is no x86 version of Server 2008 R2, it is IA64 and AMD64 (aka x64) only.

    Server 2008 Enterprise key problem

    Hi,
    I got 2 keys from dreamspark without problems.
    When I type them in Server 2008 Enterprise, it's stated that these keys are not suited, so they are not MAK's ??? I would be very greatful if I could get a server 2008 key for Enterprise (x86). I already tried various emulators and activators, but it always failed. I have a Dell Poweredge 6650...

    Thanks for any help or advice

    I think you've got keys for 2008 R2 not for 2008 =/

    I checked again, but they are Server 2008 keys. When I type it during install, I can only install Server 2008 Standard and not Enterprise. (On dreamspark, they offer server 2008 standard) as read some posts ago it was stated that MAK keys would work for Standard and Enterprise, so it seams that they are no MAK keys.

    I already tried out the asset tag changing floppy disk but I only can sucessfully change the asset key nothing else, which doesn't unveil hidden SLIC (if ever present on my bios, the server dates 2005 with latest bios A17 (2005)).

    I tried several emulating softwares proposed on other posts. This concluded into reinstalling the whole server as it didn't load anymore correctly...

    If any idea, I'm open

    You probably didn't read later posts in the Sticky thead about Dreamspark keys, or you'd know that keys for Server 2008 (not R2), given now, are indeed Retail for Standard only, they stopped giving MAK keys in January this year. Before this happened, they were giving MAK keys, just like now they do it for R2.

    Ok, that explains that part. Thanks.

    No-one who maybe has a unused MAK key somewhere?
