System Center Data Protection Manager User Client ML (Discounted)
System Center Data Protection Manager enables disk-based data protection and recovery for file and application servers as well as client computers.
This client management license (ML) allows any number of nonserver operating system environments (OSEs) to be managed by System Center Data Protection Manager, as long as only one user has access to them. If more than one user has access to a certain OSE or set of OSEs, then an ML is necessary for each user.
Benefits for Organizations
If you have a dedicated IT department and staff with datacenter administration experience, your organization can use Data Protection Manager to
- Keep your data safe and recoverable
- Keep your business workloads, applications, and services continuously available
Licensing
Other types of System Center licenses are also available. For more information, see TechSoup Japan's Guide to System Center Products and Licensing.
Server Software
The right to run System Center management server software is included with the MLs. If you request this product, you can obtain management server software for Data Protection Manager. The software includes a runtime version of SQL Server Technology (SQL Server Standard Edition) to support System Center. No additional licenses are needed for management servers or SQL Server technology.
Management License
MLs do not require media, license keys, or setup codes.
CALs, ECLs, and MLs offered through TechSoup Japan are always for the currently offered version of the server software. However, these licenses can also be used with earlier versions of the server software.
Obtaining the Server Software
Installing the server software requires you to download the software from the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) and enter a license key. You can download any available version or language for your product.
