Hello Everyone,
My Organization is building a Sharepoint 2010 farm for the first time. I have to create three environments: Dev, Test and Prod. We have Sharepoint Server 2010 Enterprise with SP1 license for production but, Dev and Test environments needs to build without license version. The farm setup for all three env will be identical with two servers 64 bit-4 cores, 8 GB RAM, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise, one server with Sharepoint Server 2010 Ent SP1 and second server with SQL Server 2008 R2.
I have two questions:
1. Download is available for 180 days trial version for Sharepoint Enterprise. Since we do not have any further license, is there a way to build dev and test env without trial versions? Can we install Sharepoint with MSDN?
2. As we have Sharepoint Server 2010 Enterprise with SP1 license version for PROD, does the same installable available for trial or MSDN? Or do we need to install core Sharepoint first and then install SP1?
Please help me with these answers.
Thanks!!
