    If I have Exchange  Serbver 2010 Enterprose licences and the software installed is Exchange Server 2010 Standard is that OK or do I need to re-install the software to Enterprise?

    Hi

    Are you asking about Enterprise CALs - these can be used with either Enterprise or Standard editions of Exchange server, they are for Enterprise features like archiving which work with Standard edition too.

    Cheers, Steve

    Hi Brian,

    The software is used both for Enterprise and Standard edition.

    These licensing editions are defined by a product key. When you enter a valid license product key, the supported edition for the server is established. Product keys can be used for the same edition key swaps and upgrades only; they can't be used for downgrades. You can use a valid product key to move from the evaluation version (Trial Edition) of Exchange Server 2010 to either Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition. You can also use a valid product key to move from Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition.
