It’s actually reasonably straight forward. All of the System Center licensing
is now rolled together into one big “management license [ML]”. You either
license it for servers or clients.
In the case of servers, for virtualization, you would likely want the

Thanks very much, Brian. Things have indeed changed quite a bit with the
current version and licensing model.
I have setup SCVMM 2008 R2 in a test lab before, and I agree that it was
simple and straightforward after a surprisingly shallow learning curve.

Can you imagine writing technical documents or doing CAD on a tablet? Sure the

run on a thin client, but there's still a place for a desktop - even if virtual.

True, but you can attach mouse and keyboard to tablets! Face facts, at the
