    a quick google shows me enterprise licenses for SQL2016 are $7,128 per core, so MSRP would be select 7128.00 * 16 = $114,048.00

    At the PASS conference Glenn Berry noted it's a dangerous pitfall where the DBA is not in sync with the guy who orders hardware, because the hardware cost of getting more cores is trivial when licensing is not trivial at all;

    one of his examples was a half million license cost example, as i remember.
