Re: licensing questions

Thank for replying Sherry.
When you say you can't answer the licensing question does that mean you
can't because you are not sure or does that mean that MVP's are not
permitted to answer such question?
I ask because if it is the latter then I will need to look elsewhere for an
absolute answer.
After posting this I came to this conclusion from research but I want to be
absolutely sure before purchasing.
We need a Server license for each server we will run this off of (which in
our case it will be 1) and we will need a CAL (or I believe they are called
ML "monitoring license" with some products) for each workstation we wish to
monitor.
The number of administrators that will administrate the server does not
affect licensing.
I just need to verify if this is correct or not. Like i mentioned if you
are not permitted to answer such a question do you have an email address
that I could have such a question answered.
The only email address to Microsoft I found wanted to charge money. I
really don't feel this is a quesiton I should have to pay for since I am
trying to make sure I am staying in compliance.
Thanks again.

I can't answer the licensing question; but perhaps redirect you. For that
size environment (less than 30 servers, less than 500 workstations), you
might want to consider System Center Essentials instead of System Center
Configuration Manager (SMS)

Hi,
We are looking into installing SMS. We have a small LAN 2 Servers,
Windows
2000 and Windows 2003. We have 20 workstations.
Basically we want to install it on one of the servers (not sure exacty
which
one yet we are in planning stages). Then we want to have the ability for
2
administrators to access and use it.
What would our licensing requirements be?
We don't need a CAL for each workstation it would be monitoring, correct?

If you feel this may be better answered in another newsgroup please let
me
know.

thank you.
