I am evaluating whether the project i am working on would benefit from taking Elastic support. I appreciate that there is a cost per node/ 10 nodes. Does this apply to every elastic node that uses the licenced features (ie Security) or is it based only on the Production Clusters? Or is there some middle ground? ---

Hey Support is based on the number of nodes in a cluster. There are different subscriptions, which allow you to use different commercial features inside of that supported cluster. I hope this clears things up a bit. If not, feel free to drop me a note or email to `sales@elastic.co` for further clarification. --Alex ---
