Introduction to Upgrading Office Communications Server 2007 Evaluation to the Full Released Version
Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 will reach end of support on January 9, 2018. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.
This document guides you through the process of upgrading from Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 evaluation version to the Office Communications Server 2007 full release version.
This upgrade document has the following scope and criteria:
Evaluation to full release upgrades are only supported for the volume editions of Office Communications Server full released version. You cannot upgrade from the MSDN® edition or to the MSDN edition of Office Communications Server 2007 full release.
Evaluation to the full release upgrades are supported for the following Office Communications Server roles:
Standard Edition Server
Enterprise Edition Server and Enterprise pool
Edge Servers: Access Edge, Web Conferencing Edge, Audio/Video Edge
Proxy
Upgrading the following server roles and tools is not required. These server roles and components do not require a product key for installation and therefore are not subject to the evaluation expiry limits:
Web Conferencing Server
Mediation Server
Audio Video Conferencing Server
Web Components Server
Archiving and CDR Server
Administration Tools
During any particular upgrade, if you cancel the evaluation to full released version of the file installation portion of the upgrade, your server will not perform as designed.
