I stand corrected. Cost is not what I was referencing.. the CAL model was my problem. No software should require a data sheet to understand the licensing.
Yes, understanding licensing has a cost all on it's own. Not just to buy the products, but as your developing you have to be aware of what you can and can't use, the developer edition has everything, which can create some traps.
Ahh, yes. It is confusing. MS makes you choose either "license by core" or "non core licenses + CAL per user". Then, the differences between Enterprise, Standard, etc.
