I need to have an enterprise trial license for exchange2k7. The Unified messaging will not work without this, and we need to test with our VoIP system. I've searched on google, but nothing I've seen has really been all that helpful regarding trial keys and Microsoft's website isn't all that helpful.

Anyone know where I can get one of these? Is it even possible?

You're not going to get a lot of help with that type of question. If you need software, trial or otherwise, go through proper channels. Vendors normally will work with you on evaluation software, even Microsoft.

I would rather gnaw my arm off than sit on the phone with Microsoft. Why wouldn't I get a lot of help? If someone else got a trial serial number, then they would probably be of some help, which is what I was looking for.


I have the trial download, but it doesn't come with an enterprise CAL, which is what I need for UM... and I haven't really been able to pull up any answers. I was hoping someone here was testing exchange 07 and had already passed this step and could offer some assistance.


Thanks for the link though.

I am testing Exchange 2007 Enterprise. But I did go through a reseller and get required CALs as well as downloading trial software. I've actually gone past that and now have an unrestricted (non-trial) Enterprise version with necessary CALs.

I do not think you are going to get free use of CALs. Trial version software yes, but CALs are a different animal.

Can you possibly PM me the reseller you went through? I was afraid of that. Did they charge you for the CAL?
