Hi

I understand that standard edition can only be used on single cpu machines
whereas Enteprise can be used for multi cpu machines but how does 10 interna
l
and 20 Organisations (limit for Standard edition) translate for BizTalk 2004
( receive/send ports) ?

Hi Tim,
I asked m$ the same question and here's the answer I got. I don't think the
number of ports comes into it.
Hope this helps.

Q: What is the definition of an internal application and a trading partner?
A: Although this definition is not in the EULA or PUR specifically, we
define an internal application as a distinct application that runs on a
single logical machine within the firewall of an organization. We do not
require customers to count each end-device or application, just the
application that integrates directly with Microsoft BizTalk Server. For
example, this means customers who have BTS04 STD edition can connect to an
ERP system, a CRM System, a SCM System, a legacy app on the mainframe, and a
database as five distinct internal applications under the STD license. As
another example, this also means that customers who have BTS04 STD Edition
could make a single internal connection to another EAI product that in turn
brings together data from seven other applications or databases. In this
scenario, that would only count as one internal connection, not seven.

Although this definition is not in the EULA or PUR specifically, we define a
trading partner as a distinct parent entity across the Internet. We do not
require customers to count each end-device, application or logical machine,
just the parent entity that integrates directly with Microsoft BizTalk Serve
r
from across the firewall. For example, a customer who is using BTS04 STD
edition to connect to a large trading partner that has three divisions, each
located at different sites around the world, needs only one external trading
partner connection, not three.

Thanks .. it certainly clarifies what is a trading partner/internal app.
However is there any security mechanism in the STD edition which prevents yo
u
from breaking the 20/10 rule ?

Not as far as I could ascertain, they have an honour based licencing system
for this ;0)
