Microsoft System Center Client Management Suite OSE ML (Includes Software Assurance)

This client management license (ML) suite allows one nonserver device to be managed by a set of System Center server technologies. If a device has multiple operating system environments (OSEs), a separate client ML suite is necessary for each OSE.

The suite contains the following licenses:

• System Center Data Protection Manager OSE Client ML
• System Center Operations Manager OSE Client ML
• System Center Service Manager OSE Client ML

Note: With the release of Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010, all DPM MLs now include the DPM server software and license. Organizations can use this software and license to run only one instance of DPM server, even if they request more than one DPM ML.

A User ML suite is also available. The User ML suite allows any number of nonserver OSEs to be to be managed by the same System Center server technologies as the OSE ML suite, as long as only one user has access to them. If more than one user has access to a certain OSE or set of OSEs, a client ML suite is necessary for each user.

Server ML suites are also available. A server ML suite is required for each server device managed by the applicable System Center technologies.

For more information about this license suite, see TechSoup NZ’s Guide to System Center Products and Licensing.

Note: Although organizations can request multiple MLs, they will be licensed for only one DPM server installation.
