Windows Small Business Server 2003

I got this FREE in the mail directly from Microsoft themselves for being a "business partner". Does anyone know what it is? Is it an server OS, like XP with more feautures for servers? Or is it an add-on which requires you to already have Windows Server 2003? It looks realyy neat.

it's basically windows 2003 server pre-packaged with exchange/outlook and (if you have the premium edition) ISA and SQL Servers plus frontpage.

I got a "promotional" copy, which I can not resell. Is there a time limit if I install it, like 180 days or is it a complete copy just labeled "promotional"?

I'm not sure what the licensing is on it, if you need the details I would recomend contacting Microsoft's customer service group.

If there is a time limit than it should tell you during the install.

I received the same package and there isn't a time limit on it. Its a retail package with a NFR sticker on it
