Follow-up question:
I talked to my CAM and he gave me some information regarding SQL Server Licensing. It seems like the most cost effective route for our organization is going to be the server-license + CALs, rather than the core-based licensing (we only have 50 Epicor users, but just built a 20-core Epicor server).
My CAM told me that, separate from the up-front software purchases, there will be annual Epicor maintenance and annual Microsoft embedded maintenance. He was able to tell me that Epicor's annual maintenance would be roughly 20% of the up-front cost, but he didn't have any information on what the annual maintenance from Microsoft would be. I called Microsoft SQL support phone number and got transferred around a bit, but wasn't able to get an answer from them either.
Is there any info that you guys can provide?
Thanks,
Jay
