Licensing for Service Manager 2010 revealed
We are many that are waiting impatiently for the release of Service Manager 2010. Microsoft has now revealed some information regarding the licensing for Service Manager 2010 which I think will be appreciated by many.
Service Manager 2010 will be a part of Server Management Suite Enterprise (SMSE) and Server Management Suite Datacenter (SMSD). If you have one of these licenses today with a valid Software Assurance or if you sign a new contract you are entitled to Service Manager 2010 when the products is released this spring.
The other products that are included in SMSE and SMSD are
· Configuration Manager 2007
· Operation Manager 2007
· Data Protection Manager 2007
· Virtual Machine Manager
Good news is that Opalis will also be a part of these licenses. Opalis was acquired by Microsoft in the end of 2009 and will bring automation of tasks and processes into System Center products.
If you are not familiar with the licenses for SMSE and SMSD you find more information about them here.
