    So for reasons i won't go into here i've decided i need to reinstall WHS.  Only i can't find my dvd.  I guess I could go out and torrent it, but if i do that I can't be certain that someone hasn't messed with it.  Microsoft offer an 'evaluation edition' here: link.  So would it be possible to use my legit key that i can presumably retrieve from my OEM install (using the magical jelly bean key finder link) to install and activate so it becomes the full version?

    No the trial version has stuff hard coded into it, you need an original OEM disk to install
