Server 2016 Technical Preview 5

[PaCiFieR]

Hi all

Long story short, I have take over a site that appears to be running 2016 Tech Preview 5 on their primary server. A quick "winver" reveals it is set to expire 01/03/2017.

Any idea on what will happen when it does expire?

TP5 expired end of a December 2016?

This is indeed what every website has told me thus far.

Now what happens when it expires?

It may have been rearmed for 90 days. Afaik once it expires and cannot be rearmed the server will shut itself down after a few hours.

Thanks quovadis. That was my theory exactly.
Why allow a TP to run in a live environment is beyond me.
