Windows Server Preview Build 20344 requesting product key
This one got me for a few minutes too. After looking again, in the announcement post, it says to skip putting in a product key. I did so using the old school way of using an ei.cfg, and it worked.
To do so, extract the contents of the iso to a folder, go to the sources folder, make a new text file called ei.cfg and put this in it:
[Channel]Retail[VL]0
Then running setup shouldn't ask you about a product key.
