System Center Operations Manager Device Client ML (Sonderkonditionen)

System Center Operations Manager monitors the health of IT services across datacenter and cloud infrastructures.

This client management license (ML) allows one nonserver device to be managed by System Center Operations Manager. If a device has multiple operating system environments (OSEs), a separate ML is required for each OSE managed by Operations Manager.

Benefits for Organizations

If you have a dedicated IT department and staff with datacenter administration experience, your organization can use Operations Manager to get rapid insight into the state of the IT environment and the IT services running across different systems and workloads.

Licensing

Other types of System Center licenses are also available. For more information, see Guide to System Center Products and Licensing.

Server Software

The right to run System Center management server software is included with the MLs. If you request this product, you can obtain management server software for Operations Manager. The software includes a runtime version of SQL Server Technology (SQL Server Standard Edition) to support System Center. No additional licenses are needed for management servers or SQL Server technology.

Management License

MLs do not require media, license keys, or setup codes.

CALs, ECLs, and MLs offered through Stifter-helfen are always for the currently offered version of the server software. However, these licenses can also be used with earlier versions of the server software.

Obtaining the Server Software

Installing the server software requires you to download the software from the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) and enter a license key. You can download any available version or language for your product.

Expect two emails:

1. When your request has been approved, Stifter-helfen will send a message to your organization email address. This email will confirm the number of licenses you have requested and provide information about how to use the VLSC once Microsoft accepts your license agreement. Make sure the email address in your organization details is up to date by visiting your account.
2. Microsoft will send an email welcoming your organization to the VLSC. This email will indicate that Microsoft has accepted your license agreement. After you receive this email, you'll be able to follow the steps in the first email you received from Stifter-helfen to obtain your product through the VLSC.

Software Assurance

Under the Software Assurance program, you have the right to install any new release of products covered in the agreement during the term of your coverage.
