Evaluation copy windows server 2003

Here is R2 trial:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/R2/trial/default.mspx

When I click on the link "Register to download Windows Server 2003 R2 release candidate software" it takes me to a page to download 2008.

I need 2003 since I'm testing an OS compatibility issue.

Do you have a license for Windows Server 2008?

ah ... I don't think it's available on-line . you can still get it if you have MSDN subscription...

You may try this:

Be careful ! as this is by far not official source o MSFT iso images :O)
For the testing only, you may get lucky and find what you looking for.

Do you have, or could you qualify for, a Technet Plus or MSDN subscription? This is by far the cheapest legitimate way to get access to older Microsoft software.

dariusq:
The page you posted has this:
"Enter the product key exactly as it appears in the order confirmation e-mail you received. " 

Do I need a product key to use it for an eval?

There's also the option of running it as a VHD which I can download from here:

But in order to run the vhd using virtual PC I need windows 7 professional or ultimate and I only have home premium.
(according to this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx)

No you don't it is an eval copy

Why do you need an evaluation version of windows server 2003 R2 when there is an evaluation version of windows server 2008?

As I already stated:
"I need 2003 since I'm testing an OS compatibility issue."

To elaborate:
I already have 2008. The software I'm using is officially certified with 2003 and is not working as expected on 2008. I want to see if I can reproduce the issue on 2003.
