The per-core price for SQL 2012 Standard and Enterprise edition is one quarter the price of per-proc licenses for equivalent editions of SQL 2008 R2.The per-server license for BI server is the same price as the server license for SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise…though this isn’t an apples to apples comparison given the difference in SKU features.The per-server license for Standard Edition remains the same price as before.The price of the SQL Server CAL does go up, about 25%.Horwitz shared his views in an e-mail, where he laid out the changes in bullet points.
