Oh I know - I'm not even going to comment on the cost-appropriateness of those licenses (especially the Volume licensing.) I was just noticing the one feature you can just about always count on working in a MS product (the licensing logic limitations...)

I've been blessed with having the use of one (VSTS license), but let's just say it took some serious arm-twisting to get there.

Let's just part by saying - it was the only time I ever heard a CFO use the phrase "smoking crack"...
