Exchange ActivationI need to install 2 Exchange 2007 cluster nodes (so MBX role only), but need
to use the activation ‘grace period’ 1. Can you confirm the length of time the grace period permits? 2. Is there any limitation to functionality while the exchange servers are not yet activated? I have a feeling it's 120 days (I forget!) However once the license grace
period is over Exchange 2007 reverts to Exchange 2007 Standard functionality.

I thought it would just complain about not
being licensed. Ill have to check my lab later.

Had to point out that they were locked to 5 until they punched in those oh-so-onerous letters in the license key. Much sheepish looking was had, feet were shuffled and keys were entered. Clever though - makes you buy the key and enter it!
