Pricing & Licensing Options
A free 60-day trial of System Center Advisor is available to customers in
qualifying countries. Beyond the 60-day free trial period, System Center Advisor is only available to Software Assurance customers for their qualifying server products (SQL Server, Windows Server, SharePoint Server, or Exchange Server). Visit the
Software Assurance page for step-by-step instructions on how to access System Center Advisor.
Existing Software Assurance & Volume Licensing Customers
Your existing Software Assurance coverage on qualifying server products allows you to receive System Center Advisor for no additional cost. There are no requirements specifying which
Volume Licensing program (e.g. Enterprise Agreement or Open Value) was used to purchase these licenses. However, you may use this service only for qualifying products that are covered with Software Assurance. For example, if you have Software Assurance on your Windows Server products, you may use this service to monitor and manage configurations for Windows Server, but not for SQL Server (unless your SQL Server licenses are covered as well).
New Software Assurance Customers
If you do not currently have active Software Assurance on your eligible server products and would like to obtain full access to System Center Advisor, please work with a
preferred reseller to purchase a new license and Software Assurance (or Software Assurance only, if eligible).
