System Center Service Manager is an integrated platform for automating and adapting your organisation's IT service management best practices.

This client management license (ML) allows any number of nonserver operating system environments (OSEs) to be managed by System Center Service Manager, 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, then an ML is necessary for each user.

Benefits for Organisations

If you have a dedicated IT department and staff with datacenter administration experience, your organisation can use Service Manager's built-in processes for

  • Incident and problem resolution
  • Change control
  • Asset lifecycle management

Licensing

Other types of System Center licenses are also available. For more information, see TechSoup's 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 Service 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 management licenses (MLs) offered through Connecting Up and TechSoup New Zealand 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.

Software Assurance

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

Obtaining the Server Software

To receive discounted Microsoft products with Software Assurance, you'll need to accept and electronically sign a Volume Licensing Agreement. After you place your request, you'll receive an email from Microsoft eAgreements with a link to the Volume Licensing Agreement. Your request won't be approved until you've signed the agreement.

When your request has been approved, Connecting Up or TechSoup New Zealand will send a message to your organisation email address with further instructions.
