Confused about Exchange 2003 licensing<br />
<br />
I have a Win 2003 server running Exchange 2003 and I have 15 users. &nbsp;This was setup by my predecessor, and now I am responsible for it. &nbsp;I can’t find out what he bought in the way of licensing, and he is not reachable to call. &nbsp;My boss wants me to add 35 users ASAP.<br />
<br />
1 – Where do I go to purchase the licenses?<br />
2 - How much will they cost each, roughly?<br />
3 – How long will they take to arrive?<br />
4 - What would happen if I added them right away, before the licenses arrived in the mail? &nbsp;Is there a grace period of 120 days when those accts will be allowed? &nbsp;<br />
5 – We are in the MS developers program, and get some amount of licenses as part of this. &nbsp;Any idea how many or how this fits into the picture.<br />
<br />
I think this server was originally an exchange 2000 server with the same 15 users, but I am not sure.<br />
<br />
I found many links to web pages about MS licensing, but I am still confused. &nbsp;Any help would be very much appreciated.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
