Hi,
1) I have downloaded the Evaluation Copy of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition per direction of this link:
http://www.experts-exchang
- I go to the Http://www.petri.co.il/...
2) It was an ISO Files
- I put it at the Jump drive
3) I want to make VM machines from this ISO Files
- During the installation, it requested the License key; i just skip it
4)My question: Do we need the License Key for this Evaluation Copy? If yes, how to get it? ( I believe that we can use this Evaluation Copy free; am I right or wrong?)
5) Thank you
tjie

Depending on where you got your evaluation ISO, you may need a key. The key should be available from a link on the same page you got the ISO from. Most Evals work for 180 days. Yes you can use the Eval for free, but being that it is time limited, it is NOT recommended that you use the eval ISO in a production environment.
1) I got it from the above link under
- http: www.petri ..........
- But it did not see the license key
- Could you check it for me please?
2) I want to use this only for testing; i am using the vmwares
- Of course, i do not use it in Production environment
3) Thank you

While www.petri.co.il is a great knowledge repository, you shouldn't be downloading OS ISOs from there. I would recommend you download the ISO from here after registering for evaluation. You'll be issued a registration key when you do this as well:
http://technet.microsoft.c
The site that you download from is from a ligitamate company that run ceritifcation courses, and would not be offering downloads of microsoft unless they are ligitamate. With that should if you want to make sure you have a key to enter to to the site mentioned about. A evaluation copy is an evaluation copy and some you need a license key an others you do.
Ecsrd & PriceD,
I have done up to step # 2 (Please see below related to their instruction) (I am able to download to my computer), but i am confused with step # 3 ( How to register?) (any experience with it?)

You missed this note on the top of the page you are referencing:
You will need a Windows Live ID to complete the registration process. If you haven't already registered for a Microsoft Passport or a Windows Live IDwhich Microsoft uses for authentication and registration when you acquire goods and services from Microsoft online get a Windows Live ID now.
Click the link, complete the registration and a product key will be emailed to your registered email address.
Ok, I just went throught the process. What you do is log in with your live account once you select the link. Choose the windows server that you want, it will ask you for you mailing address and other information. It will take you throught a process as if you are order the trial version and you will see it does ask from Credit Card info or anything and the chaarge is zero. You will go to the check out and at the end it will give you a serial number and will email you a download link.

evaluation is totally free to use for the period of time designated. Some require a keys others do not.
