Hi all we have installed exchange 2007 evaluation we also have our product key. is it possible to enter it before the trial period end ? because at the moment the option to enter the key at the server admin isnt showing everywhere it is said that the evlauation product can be upgraded to full using the product key AT THE END OF THE 120 DAYS PERIOD so do i have to wait to the end of the period or i can upgrade right away ?

Jake - you aren't alone w/ this problem. I finally got around to upgrading my home Exchange lab to the RTM bits and can't get to the activation/key UI either. I'm checking around w/ various folks and will probably blog my findings on windowsconnected.com and post back here (if I can remember). But there is a nice silver lining - I've been told that even after 120 days the 32-bit test code won't stop working... you'll just have a nasty nag screen at EMC launch time. So no biggie, but we still need to get to the bottom of this. Unfortunately, the 64-bit install isnt' so kind and I hear it will prompt a core meltdown at 119 days. Jeff

The 32 bit version has no option for entering a key.To enter a key for 64 bit version, start EMC, on the left side mark Server Configuration, and then on the right side (actions pane) you have a option fo entering a key /Lasse

With the strong push to go 64-bit I wonder if we will see SBS 2007 require 64-bit as well. I think that it will be really hard to get Small Businesses to jump to 64-bit especially if there isn't an easy button that just says upgrade.

No need to wonder... here's the official word from the SBS Product Roadmap page: "The industry is moving towards 64-bit computing. SBS "Cougar" (the next major release of SBS) will be available following the release of Windows Server "Longhorn" in 2007, and will be offered in 64-bit only." Jeff Centimano MVP - Windows Server

Where can i download a copy of the 64 bits exchange server 2007 service pack 1?

I think you need a MSDN or a Technet subscription for Exchange 2007 SP1. Remember that SP1 is not yet released ,its still in beta
