Has anyone tried this recently? I just did, and Windows tells me my Dreamspark key won’t work with the Enterprise Edition (from the Director’s Cut).
Are there any pre-modded Standard Editions out there? I’m not sure I want to mod it all by myself…
Unfortunately when MS ran out of the original DreamSpark keys (hmm I think that post was too popular) they only released new keys that only work now for Standard.

Thank you for the great releases Niege, I agree a torrent or hosted site will do very well.

Thats a big CONFIRMED :D. Just set it up in a Hyper-V box and it went through just fine.
Yes it definitely works for now on Std and ENt the same happened when I posted the original get free key at MDL, but they changed it when they ran out. So get them now before they are gone 🙂

No. you got me wrong. I don’t have a dreamspark key. I have the key that came with my retail disk…
The retail key/mak that came with the disk refused to work. I had to bug MS for nearly 2 weeks for them to activate my dam server.
sorry saw the topic assumed you were talking about Dreamspark.

Mainly, my problem is that it won’t activate at all…
I have called MS about this and all they say is to buy a new license… Like I am going to spend -another- 1200$ for a single license.
I tried online activation, it tells me the DNS does not exist.
Over the phone it tells me I that my key is invalid… yet I installed fine and it even selected the correct version from the disk.I am at my wits end here. I either need another license or a genuine bypass so I can use the OS that I purchased at work when I decide to move from 2k3 to 2k8.
I am p!553d that I may have wasted 1200$ for something I could have torrented.Other than my activation problems I have found it more than capable.
Are you sure you are using the DreamSpark key? The Dreamspark keys are Single MAK_B keys (did you get this from My Digital Life?) When it asks for DNS it sounds like you are using a Volume key instead. Vista and Server will install with or without a key, but it still sounds like a volume key to me.
The dreamspark keys if you phone in will get you to activate many times, so far I have done 4 on the same key. Double check the key in your system, enter it again on the computer properties screen, and then try the phone activation you should be fine.
