Beta Replacement

Since re-installing my Homeserver from the Beta, I haven't been able to activate it... Which leads on to my next question!

Tony, is the only upgrade path to the full RTM version to buy it? Are MS doing any kind of deal for those that were on the Beta?

As far as I'm aware Jim I've not heard of any mention of any deals. I think you'll have to buy it mate.

Not a problem, I just didn't want to miss out on a deal if there was one!!

Nope as far as I'm aware you'll have to buy like the rest of us

That's how I understancl it, Jim. Have to buy OEM and do an in-situ upgrade.

That said, mine has appeared to have extended it's expiry date by about 2 months!?!

Still cheaper than I paid thoguh Jim!

Hmmm, maybe I'll ring up and re-activate mine!!

Worth a try!

AYe, it only allowed one activation, when I re-installed it said I'd used all my activations...
