Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.15.2 - Quick Start Guide

Licensing Quest Migrator for Notes to Exchange

Quest Migrator for Notes to Exchange is a metered-use product that requires the application of a valid license key. An MNE license key is installed MNE’s Notes Migration Manager component.

Quest sells license keys for particular numbers of users to be migrated. When the limit is reached the software continues to function normally for users that have already been migrated, but will not migrate additional users. The same license is used for all functions of a particular user (provisioning, forwarding, migration, etc.), and the user license count increments the first time any program function is applied to each user. That is, when any feature of any MNE component is applied to a particular user, then all features of all components can be applied to the same user under the same license. Moreover, users can be re-migrated (if necessary) using the original licenses; re-migration does not require an additional license.

A trial license is intended to let you try the MNE software in your own environment, with your own data, to help you determine whether MNE’s capabilities are suitable to your needs. Under a trial license, therefore, the program stamps a "MIGRATION EVALUATION" prefix into the Subject of every migrated message, and also imposes these limitations:

You can obtain your first or a subsequent license key by contacting a Quest Software sales representative. For either a trial or perpetual license, the key takes the form of a file NotesEX_4-###-#####.dlv (where ###-##### represents your unique license number), sent to you from Quest Licensing as an email file attachment. Copy the license key file to your Desktop, or to some other convenient location.

The product will install without a license key, but will prompt you to apply a license key the first time you try to run the software. You will be prompted to find and specify the license key file that Quest provided. Use the Browse feature to locate and specify the .dlv license file.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version, the automated upgrade process will transfer the existing license key into the new version, so you do not need to re-install it. For new installations, the license installer will only install the new format license files (.dlv). The older format (.asc) is no longer supported.

IMPORTANT: Many environments require disabling User Account Control to install the Quest license into MNE.
