        If I've understand it correctly, you got 20 licenses with biztalk 2006 standard edition.

        So does it mean 20 parties, 20 receive location or ???

        please help with some clarification

          Hopefully this helps … http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/howtobuy/default.mspx.  BizTalk is licensed by server processor.  A single copy of standard means you can put it on a box with a single CPU.  If the box was dual-proc, that means two licenses.

          Now with BTS 2006, "applications" is the concept, not parties.  It about being able to separate out artifacts into separately managed containers that represent different trading partners, systems, etc.  Each "application" can contain any number of receive locations, send ports, etc.

              ok thanks,

              but what does it mean that Standard Edition is limited to 10/20 external trading partners?

              Is it the number of parties I can define in the administration console?

                  I'm fairly sure that the "limit on partners" doesn't apply on BTS 2006.  Are you thinking about BTS 2004 requirements?

                   The "application" takes over, and Standard can only have 5 of them.  So, you could manage multiple partner connections in a single "application", it just makes it bit more challenging.   The concept of "parties" still exists, and yes, you manage them from the Admin Console.  But from a licensing perspective, it shouldn't matter which Edition you use with regards to party count.
