I friend of mine told me that you can get a copy of Windows Server 2003 small business edition as a trial program and if you set the clock ahead by 40 years before you install it and then set it back when you are done that it will not expire. Anybody heard of this or is he just feeding me a line of BS?
I did search on the Microsoft site and found where you can get the software (yes for free).
I tried something similar when they had the XP beta software and after a while it just quit working, plus it would not allow me to download the updates.
What I really want to know is if I can tell him he is full of BS or not.
Thanks for any info.
