If my memory is correct, the "days" for Windows server trial is 180.

But this is not the main point. What I want to say is during that trial period, the software shall be considered a legal copy. Upon the trial period is over, users can then buy license key. That's nothing illegal here.

My policy on prohibiting trial licenses on vps's here aren't up for discussion since I can see a lot of abuse coming from that. have you not heard of the infinite trial trick they claim for server & normal versions of windows exists? and that is not legal either? if not there is my point, there is so much encompassing windows licensing that if you don't know how to avoid legal liabilities it is best just to stop it before it even starts. and besides the legal issues, it just isn't wise for security related reasons as well.
