Does my company qualify for Live Communication Server 2003 licenses as part of our Small Business Server Software Assurance purchase?
A. If your company is licensed for Small Business Server (server license and CALs) with Software Assurance on a product that was signed and valid as of October 1, 2003, then you are entitled to an equivalent number of Live Communications Server 2003 CALs and/or server licenses at a nominal media fulfillment fee. Contact your Microsoft reseller for more details about how to take advantage of this offer. Harry’s Viewpoint: This speaks towards the restoration of the Instant Messaging function found in SBS 2000 as part of Exchange 2000 Server BUT which was removed in SBS 2003 when Exchange Server 2003 eliminated IM functionality. This is a peace offering from Microsoft.
