Hi All,
A quick licensing question.
I am reasonably up to speed with the new System Center Licensing model but can't find a specific answer for a scenario.
If I want to run SCVMM 2012 on a standlone host that is managing 2 2008R2 (or 2012 for that matter) Hyper-V hosts, what is the minimal licensing I require.
I don't want to license the guest VMs on each Hyper-V host - lets assume each host has 10 VMs each - I just want the license to cover SCVMM management of the 2 hosts.
What I am asking really is , is it mandatory to license guest VMs on Hyper-V hosts even though you have no intention of them participating in any other System Center aspects like DPM, SCOM etc. Or is the very fact that the VMs are "touched" by SCVMM make this mandatory?
Thanks
