Microsoft Exchange 2007 32 bit Product Key

I purchased MAPS and have a test network at home. I wanted to build an Exchange server, but the only version included in my Action Pack is 64 bit and the hardware I am using will only support 32 bit.  I downloaded the 32 bit version from Microsoft, which I read is not for production and not for sale, but I constantly get an annoying message about loading a product key and I only have limited days remaining.  Is there a product key available for non production Exchange and will I need to rebuild this entire server 120 days after installing? I can learn to deal with the message, but I was hoping to keep my server intact for longer then 4 months. Exchange is installed on Windows 2008 standard.

Exchange 2007 32 bits edition will not stop working after 120 days.

so if you can live without the antispam updates you are fine

Mu understanding is that the 32bit version will NOT stop working after 120 days, however you can't get rid of the nag screen.

There is no license available for 32bit Exchange 2007
please note that this is not a supported implementation by microsoff

thanks to everyone. I will just deal with the message and practice with the server as long as I need. I was concerned it would shut down, but obviously from everyone's comments that is not the case
