I’d go find a new reseller, that dude is an idiot.

Run away, don’t walk. There’s no reason for you to have MSDN either. See https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Licensing/product-licensing/system-center-2012-r2.aspx. The FAQ pretty much covers all of the details.

Good Afternoon David, Thanks again for your time today, it was a pleasure to speak with you. Please see the attached updated IFCU SAM baseline workbook. It has all the granular data we used to put together the assessment as well as the summary of gap analysis. In terms of actual gap – here’s what I have for now. The following are pending. A) System Center – the gap may go down if I can find any documentation which supports not licensing Distribution Points. I’ve spent the time since our call researching this and I haven’t found anything definitive within the Product Rights or Licensing guide that says this. I’m willing to dive deeper into it on Monday. B) MSDN – Some sort of MSDN needs to be purchased for the administration of your test machines because you don’t have actual developers. MSDN Platforms is probably the Edition that would suit you the best, but I will let you review and confirm.
