It's not just about size, it's also about the mix of products that you use.

Not sure about the dollar rate, but without existing software assurance it can
be expensive. The was an offer to add SA to existing machines bought in the
last 6 months but that ended last month. In effect you are buying a new full

Alright, what's the point of SA when they release an OS every 3 years or so?

The pricing that you are now running into is exactly why SA exists. If
you had purchased SA on the licenses originally you wouldn't be worrying
about your upgrade cost now, you could just do it. For me
is higher now. :)

Are there SKU's for 7 that DON'T include SA? Or is SA included no matter what?

I wish I knew that answer :) I don't know if we saved money by not renewing
