product key
- i recently bought 2 new hp proliant and installed the server 2008 standard, but i was under the impression that it came with a lifetime product key but instead it only has a trial version.
where can i purchase a new product key to install into the system?
also when i was reading about what happens if i dont activate it said that all that will happen is my desk top will turn black, i think i can deal with not activating if thats all that happens
thanks, mike

Hi,
If you didn’t active the system before the before it Out-of-grace, you will run into a Reduced Functionality Mode. For more information, you can refer to:
