I used to work for a local government (municipality) as part of their GIS department and we were spending about 10-15 grand a year on licenses IIRC. This was for an ArcGIS server license and 3 “power users” (ArcInfo), 5 “editors” (ArcEdit) and 5 “viewers” (ArcView). We were pretty small compared to most orgs, basically 3-4 people in the department at any given time. I distinctly remember the ArcGIS server license being a very significant portion of that number, maybe even half of it. Things may have changed since then (this was nearly a decade ago, before ArcGIS Pro licensing style was implemented), but probably not by much, you can probably extrapolate that ballpark and figure how much any actually decent sized org spends on Arc suite of products (a lot)
