I run a small business with an equally small network based around one SBS 2003 server. I propose buying an old server and getting an evaluation copy of SBS 2003 to learn to develop my network further by establishing another small server-based network at home. My family’s pc’s will be the surrogate workstations and I intend to set everyone up with roaming profiles (already done that at work) and get into the nitty-gritty of setting up an Exchange system.
My questions are these:-
A/ does the evaluation license enable me to connect a no. (5?) of pc’s to the developer server with “evaluation” CALs?
B/ once I have set things up satisfactorily – and bought a full license for SBS 2003 with the appropriate no. of CALs – how do I convert/upgrade everything to a fully licensed and legit version? There is a lot of confusion about the evaluation-to-full-license process on the web!
I recognise that the MS forums are the obvious place to start but people on here seem much more “beginner-friendly”!!
Thanks folks….
