FYI: Current SQL Server 2000 Prices on Output.com
$4,800 Std. Ed. (1 Processor License)
$2,119 Std. Ed. (10 Device Licenses)
$859 Ent. Ed. (10 Clients) Academic Version
$6,100 Ent. Ed. (25 Clients) Academic Version
$1,429 Std. Ed. (5 Device Licenses)
$709 Std. Ed. (5 Device Licenses) Competitive/Version Upgrade
$10,660 Ent. Ed. (25 Device Licenses)
$19,250 Ent. Ed. (Upgrade With 1 Processor License)
I have no idea what a "Device License" is but it looks like the cheapest
route (excluding accedemic and upgrade versions) is $1429. That problably
does not include much in the way of support, only runs on Win2K which will
cost you a few hundred dollars more and if your site is of any size the 5
device limit may be a problem.
