can't download ms sql 2005 free trail version

hi was looking forward to downloading the 180 day trial version of ms sql server 2005. Signed up and everything. when it loaded the download page it only has the 2 help files listed. Has the free trial ended? if i download the full express version does that have a free trial?

hi,

to me all works as exptected... in the middle of the page you can find a section reporting:

"Instructions

Enterprise Evaluation Edition is available in two downloadable formats: an image file that you can use to burn your own DVD, and a self-extracting executable file that will allow you to download and install without a DVD burner"

where you can download the ISO images or the direct self extracting executable

at the end of the page, the link you "reported" are in the section"Files in This Download

The links in this section correspond to separate files available in this download. Download the files most appropriate for you."

and these are additional downloads, the readme file and requirements in order to install SQL Server 2005..

regards
