Yeah.yesterday's licensing announcements were about 99% server/datacenter. The client side will be announced at MMS 2012. They'll have a licensing kiosk available in the Expo in the Microsoft pavilion, as well as, a Birds of a Feather for the new licensing models.

Found a Licensing White Paper yesterday afternoon. On the server side, you'll get the whole suite. But, there's always the client side to worry about. In our case, we purchased only SCCM in our EA, along with Core CALs. So, we will have access to SCCM, VMM and Endpoint Protection only. We would have to either upgrade to the Enterprise CALs, or the other client MLs, which gives you allows you to manage clients with Ops Mgr, DPM, etc. The price listed on the paper I read for those CALs is $121 each, which can add up. Will have to speak with our licensing rep to clarify, but seems pretty straightforward to me.

That's very good news. Excellent value. From: Rod Trent [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 18 January 2012 6:48 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Speaking of System Center... Didn't want to exclude this community since there are many here working with SCCM (and OpsMgr). Did you folks see the news about the System Center licensing changes? http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/01/17/new-system-center-2012-suite-ver sioning-and-licensing-model-simplifies-and-excites/ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
