     Again the confusion, why do I need enterprise version of SQL Server for R language. Please advise?

    You don't. R is open source, free to download. You can get it and use it without even needing SQL

    What you need SQL Enterprise edition for is R Server, the high-end scale server-version of R that's useful if you're doing high speed analysis of large volumes of data on a regular basis.
