Hi

My evalution copy about to expiry.

Does this mean I need to purchase the full version? If so, where can purchase it from within New Zealand?

What is all the text you posted?

Yes, if you have an evaluation copy that is about to expire it means you either need to remove it or purchase the full version.

There are a few places that sell WHS OEM.

Not sure if an OEM product key will work with an evaluation copy???

Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

Should work fine given that it's the only way WHS is available in the retail channel.

However, you can't just enter the key, you have to do a server reinstall of WHS - here's instructions: http://www.homeserverland.com/wikis/whs/windows-home-server-evaluation-to-retail.aspx
