Does Systems Management Server 2003 use the same software metering infrastructure from Systems Management Server 2.0?
A. Although software metering in Systems Management Server 2.0 was adequate, Systems Management Server 2003 has completely revamped its software metering capabilities. Systems Management Server 2003 provides an integrated way to not only know what applications are installed, but to track the applications’ individual and concurrent usage. This functionality is fully integrated with the enterprise scalable inventory of Systems Management Server 2003, and will allow you to save money on potential new application purchases, stay compliant on existing products, and effectively phase out unused applications to reduce complexity and increase the agility quotient of your business. For more information, see the asset management section on the What’s New in Systems Management Server 2003 page.
