Hi all,

I am starting a brand new TMG server with Exchange Edge components to act as an 
edge server and OWA publishing system.

According to information at 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee207141.aspx we need to install the 
edge components, followed by Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server.

I installed Exchange 2007 Edge rolls on the server, and activated the software 
using my Exchange 2007 Standard product keys.  I then completed the second part 
of the install, which was to install Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange 
server.  This completed successfully, however, when I went into the Forefront 
console, I was told I was in evaluation mode.

As far as I know, I am licensed for TMG Standard but not Forefront Protection 
2010 for Exchange.  I have a solution upstream of this server that will be 
doing antivirus/spam scanning already.  My questions are:


-          Is the Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange servers install 
required for TMG to work with the Exchange Edge components?

-          If yes, will I need to get a license for this, or will the TMG 
install license this appropriately?

Thanks.
Andrew.
