XGEN: CD Key Required for Exchange 5.0 Evaluation Software

ID: Q168715

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.0

SUMMARY

The Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 Evaluation software requires a CD Key in order to install it. The Quick Setup Guide included in this kit gives the wrong CD Key for the Microsoft Outlook Evaluation software. In addition, no CD Key is given for the Microsoft Exchange Server software.

MORE INFORMATION

A CD Key is a series of numbers a customer is required to enter at setup time. A CD Key identifies that a customer has the legal right to use the software if he or she contacts Microsoft Technical Support. The evaluation versions of Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 are not supported and, therefore, should not have required a CD Key.

The correct CD Keys are listed below. Please note that this problem only affects the evaluation version of Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0, but it does not affect the evaluation version of the Microsoft Exchange Client software.

NOTE: As indicated above, the Quick Setup Guide included with the evaluation software includes an incorrect CD Key for the Outlook Client. Instead of 000-0000000, please use 9323-9619111
