Problem to download Windows Server (.ISO) from Microsoft website

I'm trying to download Windows Server (.ISO) from the Microsoft website (Evaluation Center), but I can't access it, I'm forwarded to a generic page and I can't find any version, is anyone able to access the old page with the ISOs?

Tks, you saved my life.
Do you have the link to Win 2016 and 2012?
May I ask: are these legal downloads?

They're coming from microsoft.com, how could they be illegal?
They are direct links to the ISOs hosted on Microsoft's servers - all domains in the URLs I posted are *.microsoft.com
Thank you very much!

Just clarifying -- someone flagged the post
Name and shame
No, I keep flaggers confidential. (There are honest mistakes)
Heh, flaggers
Blown away by the fact someone actually flagged it bahahaha
I think that it was a honest mistake
(We've certainly seen illegal downloads posted on LET before)
I'm okay with mistakes, I make them as well but even my slow brain saw the direct links
But why would anyone care unless they work for MS? Do the flag the threads where we talk about torrenting too?
Let's try to move on. It was just a follow-up on my part on a flagged post. If I had paid more attention to the links, it would have been obvious that the downloads were legal
Even better point than mine I admit... unless we have MS darkness living on the forums which would make LET a somewhat celebrity forum (whether good or bad)
I'd rather not move on, we need to out the grass.
In any case, if I understand the situation well, it's more the activation keys that are valuable than the ISOs themselves
There's bound to be a few people from big companies here.
Cheapskates even...
"microsoft.com" so yeah as long as you follow licensing terms
I have same problem with SQL SERVER 2019 Standard Eval, who can Help with link?
Unless you're using volume licensing, then the keys are on their website too!
