       Dear Ian:

       At CDW, service doesn't end with the sale. We are committed to providing
    you
       with information valuable to your business - information that can save
    you
       money.

       Our records indicate that you have purchased Microsoft BackOffice
    licensing.
       This e-mail contains important information regarding upcoming changes in
       Microsoft licensing policies. Please read the information carefully. Feel
       free to contact me or view our data sheet at:
       http://www.cdw.com/r.asp?=21840

       If you own:

       BACKOFFICE SERVER 4.5
       You must purchase BackOffice 2000 Server by 9/28/2001.

       BACKOFFICE 2000 SERVER
       Includes: Exchange 2000 Server, SQL Server 2000, Windows 2000 Server,
    Host
       Integration Server 2000, Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000,
    and
       Systems Management Server 2.0. AFTER 9/28/2001 these products may only be
       purchased as standalone components due to the discontinuation of
    BackOffice
       Server 2000.

       BACKOFFICE 2000 CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES (CAL)
       Open and Select Licenses: As of 10/1/2001 BackOffice 2000 CALS will NO
       LONGER BE AVAILABLE. Instead, a new "CORE CAL" must be purchased. The new
       CORE CAL will include licenses for Windows 2000 Server, Exchange 2000
       Server, Systems Management Server 2.0 and SharePoint Portal Server. SQL
       Server is NOT included  as a CORE CAL. To access SQL Server, a SQL Server
       CAL must be purchased separately.

       NEXT STEPS
       Purchase Upgrade Advantage (UA) today to ensure significant savings!
       Get UA on BackOffice Server and BackOffice Server CAL before 9/28/2001
    and
       you will automatically be transferred to the new Software Assurance (SA)
       licensing program on 10/1/2001. You will be eligible for any upgrades to
    the
       individual BackOffice Components for two years. At the end of the
    two-year
       period, you may choose to continue with SA. With Software Assurance you
    are
       eligible for any corresponding upgrades for the life of your Open or
    Select
       license agreement. Eligible upgrades would include the latest version of
    the
       server component and the right to enroll in SA for each of the CORE CAL
       products.

       I look forward to assisting you with all you software licensing needs!

       Sincerely,
