I downloaded Server 2022 evaluation. It won't install on VMWare Fusion 13 because it can't find the "license terms". Howe do I get a key to install this?

    You must purchase a license key from Microsoft via the link below.

    This is nonsense. What is "evaluate" supposed to mean? Buy, then try? No way I'm paying until I know it works for me and my company yo run the software we use. Currently running Server 2012R2 and it's time to move on.

    Well, that link doesn't help me. But it did provide a phone number for support. I guess it's down to doing that. And it also showed that other people are heving the same problem. Microsoft needs to fix this.

    This works if install on Hyper-V for evaluation. But not worked if install on VMWare for evaluation.
