Note: Many customers who deploy BizTalk Server implement separate development, testing, and production environments for their BizTalk Server 2006 R2 solution. For the development and testing environments, you need a user license for each developer and tester, which can be obtained through either BizTalk Server Developer Edition or an MSDN Universal Subscription. For the production environment, you need a valid processor license for BizTalk Server 2006 R2 Enterprise, Standard, or Branch Edition for each processor on which you install an edition of BizTalk Server 2006 R2.
