Microsoft System Center component products are available as bundled suites, and each requires a separate license. Microsoft System Center Management Licenses provide users with permission to install and execute management server components. Management Licenses (MLs), in accordance with Microsoft's licensing terms, allow users to run a product in one operating system environment (OSE) with one server. Among the System Center products are System Center Configuration Manager SCCM, System Center Virtual Machine Manager SCVMM, System Center Service Manager SCSM, and Data Protection Manager DPM.
A client-focused tool, SCCM enables the centralization of administrative actions such as software updating and deployment in a scalable and secure manner. The product provides real-time actions on-premises on internet-based devices (including desktops and laptops) with the aid of cloud-powered analytics. It also enables the review and management of compliance settings.
