Server 2008 R2 Evaluation Expired Early

-

hi

i've started studying mcsa: windows server 2008 , downloaded evaluation copy of server 2008 r2 , installed onto vm few weeks ago.

i have activated , showing have 152 days left on licence.

the pc running has vm's on crashed today while evaluation copy of server 2008 r2 running. when go onto server display message saying licence has expired , asks me put product key in. don't have 1 evaluation copy , trying activate again blank product key doesn't work.

i have tried rearming see if work got error code 0xc004fe00 , message saying contact microsoft phone help.

i had made snapshot after had activated , going shows activated again, lose had set since then. hadn't done , i'm still learning doing again in fact me of problem, why didn't want phone microsoft , thought i'd post here instead.

if give me advice on why might have happened or way activate again without having go snapshot appreciated in case happens again when i've configured more things on server.

i hope makes sense , if need more detail please let me know.

thanks

tom

i'm guessing you'll need reinstall it.
