How does licensing model work for Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007? [closed]

Question

I am confused about the licensing model for Microsoft PerformancePoint Server.

When I look at http://www.microsoft.com/business/performancepoint/howtobuy/default.aspx

I see a 20,000 USD Server License, plus a 200 USD CAL license. But the language is a bit vague about what this means-- is CAl required for any user looking at reports, or for report updaters/creators?

Thanks much,

Answer 1

It's included with the Enterprise License of MOSS 2007 now.

Answer 2

I'm not a lawyer or anything, but this license term looks like something that Microsoft can't actually enforce. Sometimes they put terms in licenses that are legally baseless(i.e. they couldn't sue you and win) and just assume you'll follow the license because you're afraid.
