Upgrading BizTalk 2006 to BizTalk 2009 - what editions are supported?
In the "Upgrading to BizTalk Server 2009 from BizTalk Server 2006" document there is a really useful table that explains exactly which edition of BizTalk 2006 (R1/R2) can be upgraded to which edition of BizTalk 2009. Not all combinations are possible or supported.
Here's the table from page 11 (with some added highlighting to assist those in a hurry):

BizTalk Server 2009 Evaluation Edition |
BizTalk Server 2009 Branch Edition |
