Subject: RE: [Vantage] OT - MS Exchange Licensing??
I agree. This seems to be the case for most of the MS licenses. I had to
buy 3 seats of Office a few weeks ago and was told Office-2000 can no longer
be sold. When I told our CDW rep I did not want to run XP (or Office-2002)
"yet" she said it was OK to load and run 2000 as long as we had the XP
licenses. But read the EULA (if you can make any sense of it) just in case.
Not to open a can of worms on this thread but I am also becoming
increasingly dismayed at the new Office upgrade/EVA/Open Licensing Agreement
changes. I am being told by CDW that we have until October 1 to upgrade to
XP after which there will no longer be any way to upgrade from Office-2000
and before. After Oct. 1 it is full price only from then on. Also, they
are strongly urging buying the upgrade with the 2 yr maintenance plan where
you can install any new releases for 2 years. All this means that;
- we either freeze at 2000 and hope we never have to upgrade
or we face re-buying our 30+ copies for $15,000
or we upgrade for about $5,000 every two years.
The last item being an expense I definitely did not budget for and the
timing could not be worse.
If anyone knows of a good basic Spreadsheet/Word Processing combo (not all
the bells & whistles of Office) that is compatible with Office file (.doc
and .xls) formats I might be very interested it looking at it. I wonder if
there will be a Works XP version. I am becoming very disenchanted with
Microsoft and I have always been a fan of their products.

No expert, but you can purchase the Exchange 2000 license and a Windows 2000
Server license, install Exchange 5.5 and Nt Server 4.0 then migrate up to
2000 for no additional cost. When I installed my last server, I had to
purchase Win 2000 Server. I am not ready to migrate to a 2000 network at
this time. I consulted Microsoft and they said as long as I'm not running
both 2000 and 4.0 (or or in your case, 5.5) at the same time under 1 license
it is legal. Does that make any sense? Or is my Friday brain not
communicating.

We are looking at adding an Exchange server to our
network, and bring our email services in house. The question that I have is
about Exchange 2000. Our reseller is saying that Exchange 5.5 is not
available any
longer, and that we can purchase Exch. 2000 and install 5.5. That would be
fine, but when we are ready to go to Windows/Exchange 2000, does that mean
we would have to pay to ugrade, or because we had already bought the
Exchange 2000 and the number of CALs we need, could we just migrate when we
are ready to do that? Anyone out there a Microsoft Licensing Expert (if
there
is such a thing)? Thanks, and have a great Weekend.
