got a few questions-

If I sign up for lync to skype connection now can I still get pic connectivity, specifically aim?

Why are you stopping support for aim and yahoo with so many people still using it? I understand you bought skype but I could sell a lot more lync packages if I could promise aim connectivity

When I asked an MS reseller about lync with enterprise voice I was told I needed standard, enterprise and plus lync cals. That was expected, the reseller then told me that I needed windows server and sql cals? Is that true if I just used an existing sql instance? or could I just buy sql licenses.

For the edge server in lync 2013 if I do not put my external IPs directly on the internet without a NAT - I then need 2 subnets in my perimeter network? Seems like a lot of extra work.

Taimoor - please reference this article about my edge subnet question - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398478(v=ocs.14).aspx

It shows an exterior perimeter and an interior perimeter for edge deployment behind nat. It create so much more work on the networking end.
