Exchange 2003 license

Mr-White · 9 May 2009 at 19:01

I have server 2003 installed on 2 machines and I need exchange 2003 installed on them both but I only have one trial key. The stupid thing is Microsoft stopped the downloads so the only way I can get another trial key is to buy the lab manuals. Here's the questions...

1. Could I use the same trial key on both machines ?
2. Would this be illegal even though they're only free trials ?
3. Would this affect the 2 servers ability to work together ?

Why yes for 2?

If it's an proper eval' key, it will be time limited, so I can't see why MS would give two hoots about how many times you install it.

Actually, IIRC, it depends. If you are using them to run two different exchange organisations then you would *legally* need two different lisences. However, if they form part of the same exchange org / environment, then this is not the case.

it's a 180 day trial and will be used in the same domain
