Get Free Genuine Server 2008 Key

[computerwis]

How To get a free Windows Server 2008 Product Key. Yes it will state Standard, but I tested the key on Enterprise and it activated no problem

The key from this site activates Windows Server 2008 Standard and Enterprise

1. Change your proxy server to a proxy from China **do this in Internet Explorer, it works better, and doesn't time out!** Try other browsers too!
2. Visit this link: https://downloads.channel8.msdn.com/...rver_stan.aspx
3. Log into the page using your OWN Windows Live ID **Make fake accounts if you want more Keys**
4. Once logged in, click Verify and choose China from the drop down list on the right. ** A map will show up asking you to select your country, if you followed everything else select China***
5. Next choose China-CERNET from the list **This is will bring up the server log in page for you, it takes a moment** When the dialogue pops up enter one of the screen names below, any of them it doesn't matter, I suggest copying and pasting into the username login pop up Ease2002 demonstrated a good username and password, Thank you**

If you see the certificate error still continue on, don't cancel navigation, it's something with dreamspark (go figure).

6. Once that is complete, it will take you to a verification screen, which takes about 30-40 seconds, once complete, it will say "congratulations you are now verified, click here to view all products. Click on Windows Server 2008 Standard (Remember the key works for both Standard and Enterprise), you can not download from this site, but click the check box agreeing to the terms and under the download links is a button for GET KEY***

7. You now have access to your product key, accept the licence agreement and click Get key

Information from My Digital Life forum.

I didn't provide accounts for logging into China-CERNET because I don't want to get banned

I can't seem to get it working myself but meh, this is why I use Linux for my server, far less work... and no need for a proxy.

Where are the UID's and PWD to login into the server..

If possible one key for me..

I am hell bent on getting this for free (although I doubt I have much use for it) but the process is pretty difficult. I am sure there are others who would benefit from this...if only there's someone who can get the keys for us...any one successful in getting this?

P.S. I sense something 'illegal' about this (I don't know, I might be wrong)...and since we are talking about Microsoft here, are the risks worth it???

[blackcobra]

As safeguy's says, isn't it illegal to login into others account and get a key..
