Which SharePoint license (Standard or Enterprise) is required to required to run Aras in conjunction with SharePoint? Are enterprise features being accessed?
Likewise, which SharePoint license (Standard or Enterprise) is required to required to run Aras in conjunction with SharePoint integration at http://plm.codeplex.com ?

I'm no expert on SharePoint licensing, but my understanding is that Standard is sufficient for the Aras-SharePoint integration that Aras delivers. The open source project on CodePlex utilizes a bunch of Enterprise features (PerformancePoint, Excel Services, InfoPath Forms, Dashboards, etc.). However, there are some components of that project (web parts, etc.) that could be reused with Standard. I guess it all boils down to what you want to accomplish. If you want to simply expose PLM data in SharePoint (and vice versa) then Standard is probably sufficient. If you want advanced features like Business Intelligence then you'll need Enterprise.

Thanks Rob! That was the kind of answer I was looking for.
