Windows Server 2012R2 vs Windows 10?

[Cazzesman]

I have had 2012 r2 installed since 2014. Still on the Trial version. I will be attempting my 4th renewal of the Trial version in Early October.

 

Phils thinks maybe 4 or 5 free renewals

 

Q1) Has anyone got to 4 or 5 or greater renewals?

 

Chances are very good that I will stick with 2012 r2 once it is time to purchase a License. For $500 (Aust $) I think 2 or 3 years free use via the Trial version is worth it.

 

I just upgraded to AO Ver 2.00 in Core mode and it is working a treat. Kudos to Phil and his work.

Can anyone confirm that an OEM version of 'Standard' 2012R2 provide a License Key required for a Single Audio PC?

Thanks Phil,

 

Being abit naive to the situation, if I buy an OEM version, do I have to install that version as a fresh install or can the License Key be used on my current trial version of 2012 R2?

As long as it is the same edition (e.g. standard) entering the key will be just fine :-)
