I followed this guide http://www.mcflymethod.com/indexb.asp?txtscreen=1920 to remove the Activation from windows 2008.
But... I think its to much work so i made this batchfile for automated removal.

Download and run as Administrator (or you can modify the file with your own admin account).

I have tested this file on 2 of my 2008 servers and they both work after i turned the clock forward to 30 oktober 2009. Windows update works too :), and the most important thing, the roles manager work! :)

For some reason didn't it work for me. But I dont really know why.

Anyone else who tried this?

Edit*
I tried to turn the clock forwards to December 2009 and it worked. It just said activation was needed but I could use the computer as always.

Does that mean it works?

I made adjustments to the batchfile.
"c:\windows" is replaced by "%systemroot%" in case someone installs their system differently from the standard location.
