BizTalk Server 2013 RTM Now Available!

BizTalk Server 2013 has now finally been released to manufacturing! View the full details on the BizTalk Server Team Blog.

Note that there is a new pricing model based on cores rather than processers. The official Licensing Datasheet & FAQ document is available from Microsoft, while Saravana Kumar has a very comprehensive and detailed post to explain the new licensing scheme. You can also download a BizTalk Server 2013 License Maintenance spreadsheet that Saravana has made available.

Also of interest is that there is no developer edition of BizTalk 2013 to download. Instead, MSDN users can download the Enterprise edition, which is the same as the developer edition. There is also the 180-day free trial edition.

Happy BizTalk-ing!
