22538 and all preview Insider builds are not signed with production certificates and are not supported in production. These builds are for testing and validation purposes only.- thanks for info.
I download an Windows Server 2022 evaluation version and convert to an retail version is best way do if could not convert that version use now
- Mary HoffmanIf you are asking how to convert an evaluation version of Windows Server 2022 to a production version, please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/upgrade-conversion-options. If you are asking about the expiration of the current VNext Insider builds, we will publish newer builds with a later expiration date before the current date expires, and a simple build-to-build upgrade will then extend the expiration date for you.
Mary Hoffman Well, looks like Build 25151 expires also 15th September 2022
Can we expect a vNext Insider which runs longer than 2 months from now on?
- Mary HoffmanThe certificate will be updated long before the current one expires. Rather than staying on a preview build for weeks or months, we encourage you to upgrade to newer builds as they are released in order to pick up new functionality and bug fixes.
