Which licenses?
If you don't license Exchange, it will stay at standard edition.
If you dont license the clients, it will still work but you will be in violation of licensing.

After 180 days of trial, you need to buy a license, otherwise there will be alarms and some functions can not be used. Some advanced features are also available if you purchase an Enterprise license. license information.
