Following the URL to the Executive Summary shows that that price includes 8 licenses (I think Casper got 12 systems when it should've been 8. Actually there were 8 systems each with 12 CPUs.) for SQL Server Enterprise at $29K each and Windows 2000 Advanced Server at $4K each. Under client software is 24 license for Windows 2000 Server at $809 which doesn't make any sense to me.

No idea where the Client Access License are included. Does the licensing for SQL Server Enterprise include an unlimited number of CALs? Or is this a web based app which doesn't need CALs?
