Can someone explain what the limitation is in a Standard license.
It says 10 applications and 20 trading partners, but what is a application and what is a trading partner in BTS?
Is Orchestration an application? Or is Receive or Send functions counted as partner?
If I have a customer with 12 receive functions and 18 mappings but only 4 Organizations in BTS 2000, what license should they buy?

My understanding of a trading partner is a company you do business with by
exchanging data. And an application would be something like SAP, PeopleSoft,
etc... The line for dividiing internal applications would be a little more
"fuzzy", but probably major systems like Purchasing, Accounts Receivalbe,
etc... (The interesting question would be if you have one integrated system,
would it just count as one system?)

Definitely a send port is not a trading partner and an orchestration is not
an application.

So there is no physical limitation in Biztalk 2004? I'm not looking for a cheaper license for my customer, but I'm really confused about this license thing.

The following links should provide complete information on the licensing of
BTS 2006.
http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/20...uy/pricing.mspx
http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/2006/howtobuy/faq.mspx

The second article should specifically address these questions.
