As mentioned, find out what CALs you have at you are currently using. Then contact MS. It may be cheaper to upgrade your CALs and gain access to SCCM then to buy SCCM licenses outright. It’s hard for anyone to give you ballpark figure here, you really need to give MS a call.

Servers are our next thought. They are using bladelogic and WSUS to patching. We are using Symantec Altiris here but that product is not easy to use. When we deploy any applications or patch, it is very tough to find the root cause of the issues. The logs does not say much about the deployment. From one of the forum, i got the SCCM client license as $62...if this true. Sure i will contact microsoft, but that is a big process. Before that i would like to get a an approximate license cost for SCCM product (for patching, deployment, OSD) and /client...so that i can propose to business. ________________________________ Bhasker, Chittanoori SFO CA On Monday, May 18, 2015 2:13 PM, Gerry Hampson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: As Mark says there is no cost for deploying Site Systems – you can have as many as you want.

Now if you use SCCM to manage those servers, then yes you need a server license.
