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?
