EXCH2K std. No product key needed?

I ordered a media kit for Exchange 2000 std. since I was migrating an
existing installation from an old aquisition's domain on to our server and
domain. They lost their media but I was able to recover the product key.
The install and patching on a new machine went fine but it never asked me
for a product key and it let me place it in an additional routing group I
just created. The only warning I got was a notification that it supported
"per seat" licensing only which is fine, thats what we use. Should I be
concerned that this might be an eval only or did something in the install
routine query our directory and realize we had seat licenses or did we get
this particular media since we already had an authorization number for
volume licensing? The CD itself says nothing specifically about
limitations other than "Not for retail or OEM distribution" "Subject to
volume license agreement" "Not for resale". The version number within ESM
says "Version 6.0 (Build 6249.4: Service Pack 3)".
What gives? I would have thought that a product key control would have
been present. I just don't want to get burned sometime down the road with
it expiring or something like that. Need I be concerned? I guess I'm so
used to jumping through hoops these days getting software
installed/activated that this really caught me by surprise.
