W2008R2 trial period lasts 10 days instead of 60!?

-

according to  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948472, can install windows server 2008 60-day evaluation period.  then, when period expires, can extend twice total of 180 days.

this sounded perfect short-term project have.  installed w2008 10 days ago -- , today informed me evaluation period had expired!  furthermore when extended slmgr.vbs -rearm, extended 10 days!

what's deal?

hello gary,

the 10 days grace period prior activating, 180 days after activate machine

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;2021579

the reset resets 10 grace period not evaluation period.  behavior windows server 2008 r2 different behavior windows server 2008.
