Wanted: Windows Server Liscense or Dreamspark Software

[muskie]

I've just accepted a new role in our Technical Services Group here at work. This group is in control of many different aspects of our IT infrastructure. They manage the Core Network (Core Router and Core Switch), all servers (VMWare with Linux and Windows Hosts), Windows AD/DC/DHCP, Storage Layer. I've purchased some new hardware to build myself a lab but now am looking for software to learn with. I have a major project I am currently finishing in my previous role so my transition is not going to be complete until December-January.

I'd like to install a copy of Windows Server 2008 R2 to try and learn as much as possible so I can have some familiarity. Does anyone have a key or two I could use for my home lab?

Also if anyone has access to Dreamspark but is not planning on using it that would be useful too. Some other things I'd be looking for are Windows 2012, Microsoft SQL Server, Visual Studio.

Shoot me a PM and hopefully we can work something out

I think the trial gives you 180 days, don't need the key to install IIRC?

it REALLY sucks that Microsoft ended TechNet. My subscription finally expired a couple weeks ago, I got in right before the lock. All of that was accessible with a subscription. I have ISOs of 2008R2 and 2012R2 but no license keys

Lost mine too, and now limit support cases.
