Hi guys,
i'm wondering if there's a licensing option for developing data warehousing/BI/analytics solutions other than paying for an enterprise license
the DEV version is unsuitable because of the 'no production data' clause; anyone that's ever developed an analytics/DW using dummy data has seen it crash and burn the second real data is pointed at it (need to cater for all the inconsistencies and edge cases
and relationships). If it was no 'live production data/ production infrastructure/ using it for decision making' then that would be ok
We have bizspark but even then I don't think we're 'technically' covered. This seems to be a bit of a gap in the licensing model.
