How to verrify Exchange 2007 Standard or Enterprise Version

I downloaded and installed what I believe to be "Microsoft Exchange Server
2007 Enterprise Edition".

I got the licensed download from
https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/servicecenter/downloads

The file that I downloaded is

At no point during the installation did I see a mention as to what edition I
was installing. To verify that Exchange 2007 installed successfully, I ran
the Get-ExchangeServer cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell.

The output of this command is:

Name Site ServerRole Edition
AdminDisplayVe
rsion
---- ---- ---------- ------- --------------
RC-SERVER-1 None Standard Version
6.5...
RC-SERVER-4 Dell-9200 HubTrans... Standard... Version
8.0...


Note : The binaries for Exchange Server 2007 Std. Edition and Enterprise Edition
are the same - the differenciation is based on the license key used. You do
not need to uninstall/reinstall anything to move from Std to Enterprise





You can also view the server properties of an Exchange Server 2010 computer or an Exchange Server 2007 computer in the Exchange management shell or the Exchange management console.
