My understanding is that there is one trial download but when you install
you decide if you want to install Standard and Enterprise (it decides which
based on whether you use a Standard or an Enterprise code).
If you install Enterprise you have both the Standard and Enterprise CALs
options open to you.
If you install Standard you are restricting yourself to Standard CALs.
P.S. Do you have a URL to the "Microsoft Marketplace" with those (odd)
prices ?

If you go to the Microsoft Marketplace, there seems to be pricing for MOSS
2007, but it varies radically between licenses for the same product (for
what appears to be one copy...that can't be right).
It almost looks like MOSS comes in one flavor, and becomes standard or
enterprise based on CALs.
Could someone clear that up for me? Could it be true that you buy MOSS
2007, then the CALs define the version??

It's something I've muttered about (without it helping).
Microsoft have not issued any even approximate "list" prices for either
MOSS 2007 versions. Instead the official statements on pricing say
"contact your salesman".
The claim is that pricing is individual to the customer's needs and that
therefore only a Microsoft salesman has the smarts to work out the right
price for YOU. (yeah , right ...)
On "requires SQL Server 2005": I haven't got a list (yet) but one thing
that is available with SQL Server 2005 and not SQL Server 2000 is the
ability to take a snapshot of a WSS 3.0 / MOSS 2007 database (see KB
929649).
CALs are a bit odd.
If you are using Standard Edition you need Standard Edition CALs (which
as CALs tend to be per person connecting to the server, that's what
they'll be).
If you are using Enterprise Edition then you need *both* Standard Edtion
CALs *and* Enterprise Edition CALs.
There's also a theoretical middle way. If you can persuade Microsoft that
only 100 of your 1000 users are using Enterprise functionality (and it's
going to be a difficult sell) but still connecting to that Enterprise
Edition server(s) then you would need
1. Enterprise Edition
plus
2. 1000 Standard CALs and 100 Enterprise CALs.
Hopefully that lot helps.
(You might want to ask the SQL Server 2005 technical question again in a
separate thread that has nothing to do with licensing.)

I was hopping someone could point me in the right direction. I need
pricing for the following products
MOSS 2007 Enterprise
MOSS 2007 Standard
Also can anyone tell me what features of MOSS 2007 require SQL 2005?
What about CALs for the server products, do you need to purchase a
separate CAL for each person connecting to the server.
Any help would be appreciated.
