Thanks Bink for keepin me up late ;)
The latest build of .Net Server #3657 is out of the door, but with a sting in its tail. MS has changed the KEY algorithm because of piracy (XPkeygen)
from MS intranet:
"New Product Keys are required for all Server builds starting with today"s RC1 Lockdown build (build 3639). You must go to https://PKD to request new product keys for the builds that have the new algorithm. Read the below for any questions you may have.
Why is this change necessary?
This is our latest anti-piracy measure designed to render hacker generated product keys useless in Windows.Net products. With this change, previously issued server beta keys and non-Microsoft generated keys will not be accepted during setup.
What products does this change affect?
All SKUs in the Windows.Net server family will be affected. This includes Webserver, Standard Server, Small Business Server, Enterprise Server, and Datacenter Server. The change also affects all Windows.Net 64-bit products too."
