When doing a demo or proof of concept it can be convenient to use an evaluation version of Windows Server 2008 R2, especially if you have to stand up a few servers for SharePoint. You can download from here. The evaluation period is 180 days. You will need to "rearm" the evaluation every so often; e.g. the OS will eventually start rebooting on you.
To rearm, open a Command Prompt as an Administrator and enter this command:
slmgr.vbs /rearm
You should get a message box that says: Command completed successfully. Please restart the system for the changes to take effect. Reboot and you'll be happy for another 10 or so days.
