    There is (or rather was) only a 180 day valuation copy of Server 2003 available.

    Nothing "student ".

    Anyway, you're SOL.

    To remove the 180-day expiration period for an evaluation version of Windows Server 2003, upgrade your computer to the full retail, released version of Windows Server 2003.

    Server 2003 is quite a dead-end having been succeeded by Server 2008 and Server 2012, but you can probably find a genuine copy for around $100 on the Internet these days.
