Can You Run SnapDrive in the Evaluation Version?

I notice that a license for SnapDrive doesn't come with the evaluation version.  I tried using an evaluation key that I used recently on a different filer, but it said that you had to have an smexchange license for it to work.  So I entered a recently used eval license for smexchange, and it said that this was an unsupported platform.  Is there any way around this?  Can SnapDrive be tested on the eval version?  The documentation for EDGE lists SnapDrive as one of the features that it is compatible with.

Depends on where the eval came from and which version of ONTAP its running.  The public eval is keyed differently than other 7mode systems, and it only takes eval keyes cut for the eval build of edge.  Your partner or netapp SE should be able to help you out.
