SharePoint Pricing

I would always recommend you check with your MS vendor (LAR or Partner) rather than budgeting on these figures but they are indicative.

How has this changed from 2003?

 Previously in 2003 version there were 2 versions of SharePoint – SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) 2003 and Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 2. WSS was included with Windows Server 2003 and SPS was a separately licensable product. There was also an external connector licence for creating SPS 2003 Extranets. There was no separately licensable search version.
