Harold Screwed Up on Exchange 2007 Licensing!!!
Okay, I'm definitely not perfect! I had heard at one point that we were going to move away from charging for the Passive Node of a CCR Cluster in Exchange 2007. Evidently, I didn't pay close enough attention to the final word because that never came to fruition. They were just talks / discussions. In other words, I screwed up and gave out the wrong information as it relates to proper licensing of a 2 node CCR Cluster.
Customers do indeed have to purchase an Exchange Server 2007 Enterprise Edition License for both nodes (not just the Active as I had thought). Just goes to show that I need to pay closer attention to Licensing around our products so that I don't mispeak again! [That's four lashes for me]
I apologize for giving folks the wrong information and hope you can forgive me for my error. Thanks.
