Clients non-server OSs being managed use either user-based or operating system environment OSE -based licenses. Editions Server OSs can be licensed with either Standard for managing non-virtualized or lightly virtualized servers or Datacenter for managing highly virtualized servers licenses.
The only difference between the editions is the number of operating system environments OSEs that you can manage when all physical cores on the server are licensed. Datacenter edition allows for the management of any number of OSEs virtual machines or Hyper-V containers when all physical cores on the server are licensed. Standard edition allows for the management of up to two OSEs virtual machines or Hyper-V containers when all physical cores on the server are licensed.
Processor Count - Each license covers up to two physical processors, so you must count the number of physical processors on the server, divide that number by two, and then round up to the nearest whole number.
Managed OSE Count - Each license permits you to manage up to two OSEs, so you must count the number of OSEs you will manage on the server, divide that number by two, and round up to the nearest whole number.
In that case, you count only the number of virtual OSEs you will manage on the server, divide that number by two, and round up to the nearest whole number. The System Center R2 Server Management components are part of an integrated offering to create and manage private cloud environments. No, a single Server ML cannot be used to license two one-processor servers. System Center R2 Licensing.

Components included in the client MLs are not available separately. Current License. Note: There are no step-up paths for client MLs. If you are planning to deploy System Center R2, either through upgrades or new licenses, remember the following:.
Server and client MLs are primarily available through bundled suites. The exception is the Configuration Manager client ML, which can be acquired independently. Server MLs are available through Standard and Datacenter license suites. The primary difference between the two is the number of virtual instances of the server software you are allowed to manage.
Both of these license suites offer server MLs and software for all of the System Center components. With System Center , server MLs are core-based.
Previous versions of System Center have also been transitioned to this licensing model. MLs are available for the following System Center components.
These suites offer licenses for key Microsoft server products, including Configuration Manager. If you have earlier versions of System Center with active Software Assurance, you can upgrade to System Center versions without placing a new request. Since System Center has changed to a core-based licensing model, organizations with Software Assurance will be granted a certain number of core licenses, depending on how many processor licenses they have.
For help upgrading, see Microsoft's resources for deploying and supporting System Center. Downgrade rights allow you to obtain System Center software in any version that Microsoft continues to make available for download through the Volume Licensing Service Center. Downgrading does not depend on Software Assurance; it is a benefit of Volume Licensing. However, with the release of System Center , all previous System Center MLs have been transitioned to the new core-based licensing model.
If you are planning on requesting new or additional licenses for a previous version of System Center, make sure you get enough licenses to cover all the cores on your licensed server according to System Center licensing guidelines. Microsoft offers a range of System Center products through TechSoup.
