Differences among Enterprise, Standard, Parnter, Developer editions
|
|
|
| Does anyone know if there are differences among these 4 BizTalk 2004
editions in terms of functionalities? I only found on the MS site about
pricing (http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/howtobuy/pricing.asp) and it
seems to indicate that the only differences are in licensing and CPU
support. In other words, no functinality differences. Could someone
confirm this for me? I'm evaluting this for our company and want to make
sure that I install the correct edition to have a full review.
Also, do all these editions work with all editions of SQL Server 2000? Or
does the BizTalk Enterprise only work with Sql Server 2000 Enterprise?
Thanks a lot

| There are difference in terms of number of machines you can have in a group
as well as number of external or internal organizations (i.e.
Parties/Partners) you can have.
Below are copy & pasted from the EULA:
IF YOU HAVE BIZTALK SERVER 2004 ENTERPRISE EDITION, THE FOLLOWING APPLIES:
For each license acquired, you may install one copy of the Server Software
on a single Server. If the Server has more than one processor, you must
obtain a separate license for each processor on that Server. As an
exception to that rule, if you have made a processor inaccessible to all
operating system copies on which the Server Software is set up to run, you
do not need a license for that processor. Examples of processors that you
have made inaccessible to operating system copies are processors that you
have isolated by partitioning or other similar method. You do not need
more than one license for any processor.
IF YOU HAVE BIZTALK SERVER 2004 STANDARD EDITION, THE FOLLOWING APPLIES:
For each license acquired, you may install one copy of the Server Software
on a single Server. That copy may be used only as the Server Software is
designed to be used, by a single processor of the Server. You need only
one processor license to utilize that copy on a single processor. The
Server Software may not be used in a group beyond one machine, e.g.
multiple machines all processing the same application or purpose. In
addition, the Server Software may not be used to connect more than twenty
(20) external organizations or more than ten (10) internal applications.
IF YOU HAVE BIZTALK SERVER 2004 PARTNER EDITION, THE FOLLOWING APPLIES:
For each license acquired, you may install one copy of the Server Software
on a single Server. That copy may be used only as the Server Software is
designed to be used, by a single processor of the Server. You need only
one processor license to utilize that copy on a single processor. The
Server Software may not be used in a group beyond one machine, e.g.
multiple machines all processing the same application or purpose. You may
not use the Server Software to connect to more than three (3) external
organizations or three (3) internal applications. BizTalk Server 2004
Partner Edition may only use a local data base.
Developer Edition is basically the same as the Enterprise edition with the
exception that you cannot use it in production.
About SQL Server 2000, technically BizTalk Server 2004 can work with all
editions of SQL Server 2000. So if there is any restriction, it would be
legal restriction. I am not familiar with restriction of different
editions of SQL Server 2000 -- for example, whether any edition have
restriction on number machines? So I can't tell you exactly which edition
of SQL Server 2000 to use. You should select the right SQL Server 2000
edition based on two data:
1) Your selection of BizTalk Server 2004 edition
2) The restriction of the different editions of SQL Server 2000.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Lucy
