Microsoft System Center Essentials 2007 is a new management solution in
the System Center family of IT systems management products specifically designed
for midsize businesses (up to 500 PCs and 30 Servers). Essentials 2007 provides
a unified management solution that enables IT professionals in midsize
organizations to proactively manage their IT environment with increased
efficiency.
Licensing: Microsoft System Center Essentials 2007 requires a Server License
for the management server and a Management License ("ML") for each managed
operating system environment ("OSE"). A Server ML is required for management of
each server OSE, and a Client ML is required for management of each non-server
OSE. This license comes with Microsoft's Maintenance Program, Software Assurace
(SA).
Includes:
- 10 Server MLs to manage 10 server OSEs
- 50 Client MLs to manage 50 Windows-based PC OSEs
Additional Server MLs can be purchased as a single license or in a 5-pack, and
additional Client MLs in a 5-pack or 20-pack.
Note: Essentials 2007 requires Microsoft SQL Server to support its
operational activities. You must either purchase this separately or in
conjunction with Essentials 2007 (Essentials 2007 with SQL Technology).
