This is a huge problem for us. We clearly see the potential of BDC's but if Microsoft insist on full licensing then it will go no where. Does the same apply if we batch copy the relevant CRM to a SQL store and then rpesent that in sharepoint? A cludge I know but does it solve the license problem? A read only license is the answer. MS gets more money and we partners are free to generate affordable "People Ready" solutions. Geoff Charlie, you are spot on. This is a huge problem for us.

This software is about $1000. So it'll take 2 days to custom and you are done.

That full-license idea will change to full access\view-only bundles for sure, after some real selling. Yet it's very bad time, between sane licensing policy and current "give-us-money" problems. I'd suggest to talk with vendor on every prospect\pre-sale to form normal prices. Yet you cannot attract vendor attention on every 50k, from another point of view.
