General info
System Center brings cloud learnings to the datacenter, enabling seamless management of complex environments. System Center Standard Edition is for managing non-virtualized or lightly virtualized servers. Standard Edition provides rights to manage up to 2 OSEs when all physical cores in the server are licensed. Multiple licenses can be assigned to the same cores to manage additional OSEs. Standard Edition provides rights for up to two OSEs or Hyper-V containers when all physical cores in the server are licensed. For every two additional VMs, all the cores in the server have to be licensed again. Customers with Standard Edition licenses and Software Assurance assigned to 4-processor servers running more than two OSEs will receive license grants to cover the additional OSEs. If no inventory is done, grants of 8 cores per processor and 16 cores per server (8 2-core packs) will be provided for each 2-processor license with Software Assurance.
