On Friday, 23 November 2012, Ken Schaefer wrote: I've always found DPM licensing to be pretty straight forward, and explained on the Microsoft website. Prior to SC 2012, you bought licenses for the servers you wanted to protect (plus whatever was required for DPM itself - e.g. a Windows Server license, and optionally an SQL Server license) SC 2012 is likewise licensed by the servers you want to protect/monitor, and the server components are "free" Did you look on the Microsoft website? Any particular item which is not clear?

And neither do MS partner licensing team. I thougt it would be a simple question with a simple answer but everyone starts going in about CAKS for their users to protect them. And I'm like but we just want to back up the servers FFS can't believe I'm gonna say this but may end up quoting Symantec BE CPS Thanks Graeme On Thursday, 22 November 2012, Tobie Fysh wrote: In DPM 2008 you'd need two Enterprise licenses for the clients, SQL server license to run on your DPM box and a Windows Server license (DPM server is free as you pay for the backup agents on the server). Since System Center 2012 its all changed again so best to speak to a VAR (I'd recommend Phoenix Software in York who I've found to be very helpful on MSFT software licensing).

The guy who looked after that is gone, and im not sure on the licensing requirements, and MS and the distributors in the UK are no help, they just keep confusing me and them selves by saying the same thing over and over in deifferent ways but never answering the question asked. They ave the following Server 1. SBS 2008 so Windows server 2008, SQL Server, Sharepoint and Exchange Server 2 SBS Premium 2008 so Windows Server 2008 and SQL server. We are lolkking to put in a windows 2008 box with DPM, and need to know what DPM licesnes we need I have been given many answers and none of them make sense.
