I want the sql2008r2 download done, but how?

301 Asked by Amitraj in SQL Server , Asked on Oct 4, 2022

I need to do a fresh install in a lab environment. Where's a good place to download it?

If you want it for a lab environment you can get a pre configured VHD with an evaluation edition of sql2008R2 download installed. It is valid for 180 days:

SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard (x64)

Also, you can get it if you or one of your colleagues have a MSDN subscription. If the subscription is not yours you can download it from there and use it for the 180 day evaluation period.
