Maybe the following trick that works for Vista will also work for Windows Server 2008:

I don’t have a (virtual) machine to test it, but maybe you can press ctrl+shift+esc while you see the “activate now thing”, click New Task (Run…) in the File menu, enter slmgr.vbs -rearm, wait till you see the message that the command completed successfully and restart your pc.
An other solution might be to boot in Safe Mode (press repeatedly F8 before Windows starts) and do the trick in Safe Mode.
I can’t think of an other solution right now, maybe I will think of one later, but first try these two methods! 😉

ctrl+shift+esc doesn’t work from within the activate now screen, nor does ctrl+alt+del…
i can get into safemode but when i try and run the trick it throws a permission error even tho i’m logged in as admin…
script: c:windowssystem32slmgr.vbs
line: 1634
char: 5
error: permission denied
code: 800A0046

It’s just a notification. If the 60 days have been almost expired, you ‘ll need to execute the slmgr.vbs -rearm command to get your 60 days back. This rearm trick can be done 3 times.
what do you have to do if ur 60 days has expired? (i haven’t used this box for a while obviously…) as soon as i log in it comes up with the activate now thing, and if i don’t enter a code or purchase a code it just logs me back out… help?

Thanks for this! Everything worked great on my 2008 64-bit install except the gamesux.dll install – I had to manually do the install on this one. Your app crashed and burned. everything else I tested worked.
Now if only 2008 didn’t have lower FPS in games compared to Vista Ultimate 64-bit 😉
Actually, 2008 have higher FPS than vista x86/64, probably its just your drivers 😉
Maybe someone else should test the gameux patch on x64 and confirm if this is common issue, or its just you.i’m having the same problem with 2008 32-bit install.
unhandled exception, the target file “c:windowssystem32” is a directory, not a file. if ur interested i can post the details for it..? -
