The evaluation period begins when the codes are issued. Use the same activation codes for each
OES 2 server you install during the evaluation period.
4.4.5 Evaluating OES 2
During the evaluation period, we recommend that you fully explore the many services available in
OES 2.
To help you get started with the process, we have prepared a lab guide for OES 2 that explores both
OES 2 and virtualized NetWare on a second OES 2 virtual machine host server. The sections in this
guide introduce eDirectory, walk you through server installations, and provide brief exercises you
can complete to get started using OES 2 Services. After completing the exercises in the guide, you
can use the lab setup to further explore OES 2 and learn about its many powerful services.
For more information, see the OES 2 SP3: Getting Started with OES 2 and Virtualized NetWare .
After working through the lab guide, we recommend that you review all of the information in this
guide to gain a comprehensive overview of OES 2 and the planning and implementation processes
you will follow to fully leverage its network services.

Evaluation Period Expires
