What’s Changing with System Center 2012 Licensing
What Stays The Same?
What Changes?
 Managed devices require Management Licenses
 Standalone ‘products’ become components of
integrated product Management Licenses
 Concept of an Operating System Environment
(OSE) and when a Management License is
required
 Software Assurance is included with all licenses
 Server MLs differentiated based on virtualization
rights & suited into ECI
 Client MLs differentiated on component
functionality and suited into Core CAL / ECAL
 Server Management Licenses align to a single
‘processor-based’ model
 The right to run Management Server software
and supporting SQL Runtime are now included
with every Management License. Management
Server Licenses are discontinued.
