We are getting this error on 2 Windows 2008 boxes, both recently built.

We are a MS Gold partner and are definitely within licencing rights. We installed from the proper ISO’s on MSDN download.

Hi Paul,
To quote your original post: «We installed from the proper ISO’s on MSDN download.»

Server 2008 is not a product for which Validation is required (see the question «Is validation supported for all versions of Windows» here). My goal was to direct you toward assistance with your problem. From the quote above I assumed that you were an MSDN subscriber and could find assistance through that channel.

You totally missed Paul’s issue.

He is not having problems with «validation», it is «activation» that he is requesting help with (2008 like all WIN OSes indeed has to be ACTIVATED). You should «Unmark as Answer» your answer.
