System Center Operations Manager Client Operations Management License (Includes Software Assurance)
This client management license (ML) allows one nonserver device to be managed by System Center Operations Manager 2007.
One ML allows for management of one operating system environment (OSE). In order to manage multiple OSEs on one device, each OSE must be licensed separately.
User MLs are also available. A user ML allows any number of nonserver OSEs to be managed by Operations Manager as long as only one user has access to them.
A server ML, available through PNGO PROGRAM, is required for each server (that is, each device running a server operating system) managed by Operations Manager. The standard server ML allows one file server to be managed by a server running System Center Operations Manager. The enterprise ML is necessary for management of server applications and other premium workloads.
