System Center Licensing, SQL Server

We want to implement four System Center 2012 components (SCOM, SCDPM, SCCM, SCVMM). We have 4 SC Datacenter licenses. How do we license the 4 SQL servers we need for these components (as SQL license is included in the SC license)? Should I apply the same license of SC to SQL during installation? Is it a valid option of licensing the SQL ?

What about the licensing of the operating system (Windows Server 2012 R2) where I am going to install SC components? Can it use the same SC license or does it need one on its own?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Megi Shyle

System Center 2012 R2 includes a license for SQL Server Standard (if you need to run SQL Server Enterprise you will need to license this separately).

The Windows Server license is not included as part of the System Center 2012 R2 license.

You can find out more about licensing from:

http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/SystemCenter2012-R2.aspx#tab=2

You can also get more information from the System Center 2012 R2 Licensing Guide and your Microsoft account contact or licensing contact can also provide answers that are specific to your situation.

Regards,

Richard
