    No, it depends on the version you already have in the Farm. Licences could be Standard Edition or Enterprise

      No, I mean licenses only for SharePoint...of course, if you are thinking also on providing high availability on SQL Server you will need an additional SQL Server License. In regards of HW specifications, I think you can just use the same you have for the servers that are already in your farm
