Core Client Access Licenses

For products that have client access licenses like SCCM, Microsoft bundles licenses within their client license platform. As an example, organizations that have a core client access license, or CoreCAL, that provides them rights to use Windows, standard Exchange features, and standard SharePoint features, the CoreCAL also includes a license for SCCM. Pretty much every mid- and large-sized enterprise has an enterprise agreement with the CoreCAL and, as such, these organizations already own the client license for SCCM. All the organization needs to do is purchase a server license for System Center to be able to set up a full SCCM-managed environment.
