This is more as a reminder for ourselves when building evaluation labs for Windows Server 2008 R2 (although most people will be moving on 2012 by now) but we thought we would share this information with our visitors as well.
These product keys can be used to activate the various evaluation copies of Windows Server 2008 R2 for 180 days and have a re-arm value of 5.
You can see the list of keys that you can use below:

Thanks for Eval key, I was using Windows server 2008 R2 datacenter key for my Home lab . However it got expired 10 days back . Can you help me in getting the key to be extended for 180 days again
Just open a command prompt (elevated) and run this command:
slmgr.vbs /rearm
This should give you another 180 days. You can do this five times giving you three years!
Thank you, that worked.
