The number of Server MLs requiredfor each managed server is determined by the number ofphysical processor in the server for Datacenter Edition andeither number of physical processors in the server ornumber of OSEs being managed for Standard Edition(whichever is greater).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)System Center 2012 R2 Server ManagementQ: What's new in System Center 2012 R2 server management licensing?A: System Center 2012 R2 server management licensing does not change from System Center 2012.Q: Can you describe the product editions offered with System Center 2012 R2?A: Same as System Center 2012, System Center 2012 R2 server management licenses will be released in 2editions differentiated by virtualization rights only: Datacenter: Maximizes cloud capacity with unlimited Operating System Environments (OSEs)for high density private clouds Standard: For lightly or non-virtualized private cloud workloads.There is no differentiation between the types of workloads you can manage with either edition. The onlydifference between the editions is the number of Operating System Environments (OSEs) that you canmanage per license. Datacenter Edition allows the management of an unlimited number of OSEs perlicense. Standard Edition allows the management of up to two OSEs per license.Q: How do I determine the number of Server Management Licenses (MLs) I need?A: Server MLs are required for managed devices that run server OSEs. Licenses are processor-based, witheach license covering up to two physical processors. The number of Server MLs required for eachmanaged server is determined by the number of physical processors in the server for Datacenter Editionand either number of physical processors in the server or number of OSEs being managed for StandardEdition (whichever is greater). System Center 2012 R2 DatacenterEach license covers up to two physical processors, so you must count the number of physicalprocessors on the server, divide that number by two, round up to the nearest whole number,and acquire and assign that number of licenses to your server.Provided you acquire and assign to your server the required number of Datacenter editionserver management licenses, as described above, you may manage any number of OSEs onthat server. System Center 2012 R2 StandardFor each managed server count the number of physical processors and the number ofmanaged OSE's. You need the number of licenses to cover the greater number (processors orOSE's).This document is provided “as-is”.

Processor CountEach license covers up to two physicalprocessors, so you must count the number ofphysical processors on the server, divide thatnumber by two, and then round up to thenearest whole number.Managed OSE CountEach license permits you to manage up to twoOSEs, so you must count the number of OSEs youwill manage on the server, divide that number bytwo, and round up to the nearest whole number.**An exception to this rule is when the physical OSE on your server is being used solely to run hardware virtualization software, provide hardware virtualization services, and run software to manage and service OSEs on thatdevice. In that case, you only count the number of virtual OSEs you will manage on the server, divide that number by two, and round up to the nearest whole number.Examples:Datacenter Server MLsRequiredStandard Server MLsRequiredOne 1-processor, non-virtualized server11One 4-processor, non-virtualized server22One 2-processor server with 3 virtualOSEs12*One 4-processor server with 8 virtualOSEs24**Multiple System Center 2012 R2 Standard licenses may be assigned to the same server to license the number of managed OSEs.Q: Can I purchase each of the System Center 2012 R2 Server Management Licensecomponents separately?A: No. The System Center 2012 R2 Server Management components are part of an integrated offering tocreate and manage private cloud environments and are available only as part of System Center 2012 R2Standard and System Center Datacenter MLs.Q: Can I split 2012 R2 Server MLs across multiple servers?A: No, a single Server ML may not be used to license two one-processor servers.Q: Can I assign more than one System Center 2012 R2 Standard license to the same server toincrease the number of OSEs I may manage?A: Yes. The breakeven point for moving to SC 2012 R2 Datacenter is 7 VMs per host.Q: How much do the Server MLs cost?A: The Microsoft Volume Licensing Open License No Level (NL) U.S. Estimated Retail Price (ERP) is 1,323for System Center 2012 R2 Standard and 3,607 for System Center 2012 R2 Datacenter. For your specificpricing, contact your Microsoft reseller. Actual prices may vary. Microsoft does not determine pricing orpayment terms for licenses acquired through resellers.Q: Can I extend a Server ML to manage applications running on the public cloud?A: Yes, with the License Mobility through Software Assurance benefit, you can assign Server ML tomanage applications running on a public cloud infrastructure. System Center 2012 R2 Standard licensesallow you to manage two virtual OSE in a public cloud, while System Center 2012 R2 Datacenter licensesallow you to manage up to eight virtual OSEs in a public cloud. When managing applications running onAzure, each Azure instance is considered to be one virtual OSE.
