Hi Scott,

The binaries you have are not any sort of crippled, eval version.  You 
can setup the Windows Sync feature.  You need to right click on your 
dataqbase that is associated with your suffix  under the "Configuration" 
tab in Console to  create a new Windows Synch agreement.  This is under 
the "Replication" item in the tree on the left-hand side of the 
Console.  You most ilkely want to use the "userRoot" database.
