Microsoft System Center - April 2006
Microsoft packages server management licensing to simplify purchasing process
The inclusive offering from Microsoft, called System Center Standard Server Management License (SML), is an alternative to the current process of buying individual licenses for Microsoft Operations Manager 2005, Systems Manager Server 2003 and Data Protection Manager 2006. “This simplifies the acquisition process. You only have to purchase one SKU," Nina Sundberg, a senior product manager in Microsoft's management group. "We are taking the cost down 30% as opposed to purchasing the standalone licenses."
