Lower cost licensing options

[davidcase]

If you don't have SQL Server Enterprise with SA, the only licensing options available are quite cost prohibitive for small implementations. Pro User = $10/month Premium =$5k/month minimum Embedded=$750/month minimum If only sharing a small number of reports with other users (view only) it is impossible to justify the cost.

The pricing model is unjustified from organizational adoption perspective and also from ISV perspective. Listen, for a market like India the adoption of such technologies is most likely thru ISV and I believe its true for other markets too. If thats true, and if ISVs themselves are struggling with adoption then it really hurts business.

There also needs to be a tier between pro and premium for small businesses that need the premium features but have no need for the dedicated capacity.

I would just like it to update more than 8/day; but spending 5k a month on it is not even remotely worth it.
