hardcoded for 10 licenses. The MSDN version is meant for a development
environment. To go to a production environment, you must re-install Exchange
Server with the Standard or Enterprise version.

When you re-install Exchange Server, to preserve mail that is already in a
mailbox, mail can be downloaded to a personal folder file (.pst) file by logging
into each user's mailbox.
