I have this installed, I LOVE the virtual session stuff. Very nice to get up and running. I see it expries in 14 days as of 10/14/2005. Why is that. Will you provide trial editions of the final product in this format. Is there a way I can trick it to keep going. I don't want to lose 'all set up learning environment'.

Suggestions

Can I change a system date and not get the session to sync

    Hi

    Can you tell me if you are being told that the image will expire by anything specific. The best way to get around this is to upgrade the VPC image to a full copy of windows.

    Hi There

    What you state is correct. We have instructions as to how to upgrade your Windows OS at http://msdn.microsoft.com/SQL/2005/2005Labs/holupgrade.aspx

    It isn't the virtualization software, I have a license for that. It's SQL Server. The Message I get
    "The evlaution period for this product will expire in 9 days. Please upgrade this version to the reail product". The title of it now that I look at it is Windows Product Activation. This leads me to think it's now the Windows O/S breaking this, the last CTP it what MS Virtual PC.

    So that's all I have to do is upgrade the Windows O/S. I have a Windows O/S license for 2003 so that's good -- do you know how I can do this

    I'm trying to get an answer to your question.  It would help to know a little bit more about the "virtual session stuff".  Are you referring to the Hands On Labs, or something else

    Thanks Matt -- we've met before at PASS 2004 when my last image expired I think :) ... this time much better around. I have to tell you guys this is a great thing. Cheers. (Good articles as well).

    Hi Gail,

    Ya, I got some CTP in June -- I install this MS Virtual PC image that's like 3 GB and includes VS.NET 2005, SServer2005, tutorials, the works. Amazing learning tool. I see it expires in like 10 days, but I'm still learning. I wanted to know how I can extend it. It say the product expires in 14 days or so and to upgrade to a production license or something like that. But I'm sure I can stil have 60 day trials no
