    The product is licensed per user, so the same license file would be used on all appliances.

    The current mx record shows 3 MTAs, it looks like you can just place SMG scanners on each of those IPs, and then have a control center only appliance to manage them.

    The temp license for SMG will not allow you to use the probe account feature nor the customer specuific spam feature.

    The SMSMSE product is installe don the Exchange server, the Messaging Gateway is a seperate appliance.
