What happens if you leave it blank and try to continue the installation?
According to Microsoft "Evaluating Windows Server® 2008 software does
not require product activation or entering a product key."

It helped for me to download image again from the MS download server,
because I've probably had some old version. And remember to UNCHECK the box
"activate windows when I'm online", it's in the same screen where you type in
(or in case of trial install - you don't type in) the serial number.
