BizTalk Server 2013: Developer Edition – It’s Coming!

  • Artikel

Here's the scoop:

The BizTalk Server Developer Edition is coming and is scheduled to arrive on November 1, 2013. It won’t be free but the cost should be under $50 USD. In the meantime, these are your options: 

  • MSDN Subscription includes the Enterprise Edition. The Enterprise Edition and the Developer Editions are the same software package except for licensing. Meaning, the Developer edition cannot be used in a Production environment. It is for development use only.
  • Evaluation Edition is a 120-day time-bombed Enterprise Edition.
  • The Enterprise Edition on Windows Azure IaaS, aka BizTalk Server 2013 on a Windows Azure VM - If you have MSDN, you get $50, $100, or $150 in free Windows Azure usage per month. With MSDN discounts, a medium BizTalk Enterprise instance is less than $50 a month.

I hope this helps!

    Taking into account that BT is a server product and that MSDN subscriptions are a per-user product.  Could you please clarify what type of users would need an MSDN subscription in order to access and/or use a BT dev/test environment?

    MSDN subscriptions are typically for developers but anyone can purchase a subscription. The MSDN subscription includes the BizTalk Server Developer edition which is licensed  for dev environments. If you wanted to use BizTalk Server Standard/Enterprise editions (the "server product"), then you need to purchase those licenses separately from MSDN. Basically, it's the licensing requirements for each edition: Developer - dev environments; Standard/Enterprise - Production environments. I have a feeling I'm misunderstanding your question.

    Thanks Mandi, That covers Dev and Production very clearly. What about a "cold" DR server? This is arguably not a production environment if it's shut down unless there's some sort of disaster, when it becomes the only server running as a production environment. And what about a Test server, which is clearly not a production environment? Thanks.

    Is it true that the BTS 2013 Dev Edition is only available through an MSDN subscription?
