Academic OVS-ES FTE count versus actual count

Looking to find out what has to be quoted via FTE count versus actual user/device count. I know the base product needs to be at FTE count.  What about Endpoint Configuration Manager?  I know that any...

Hello, this question has to do with an onprem Open Value Subscription Agreement (not Cloud). With an OVS Agreement, some products have to be quoted/ordered by full-time equivalency count. I'm trying to find out if Configuration Manager licenses have to be quoted/ordered by FTE count or can we use actual number of users or operating systems needing it? This can be ordered by user or by operating system.

Thank you, Jennie

Hi Jennie_Maier 

 

hmmm...I did not see where OnPrem & Online make a difference in this scenario.

 

As mentioned, Configuration Manager is a part of the (6) products listed in the snapshot below:

 

 

 

Therefore, you would purchase the EMS, M365, or Intune product the same as always, and Configuration Manager is included...it's not a separate license/product. Please carefully review the information in my previous reply.:smile:

 

 

 

Note: If you are a Reseller, please contact your Indirect Provider for assistance.

    Hi, it can be purchased as a standalone license through a OVS-ES agreement (school agreement) which is an onprem license, so the Cloud licenses you mentioned would not apply to this scenario. The skus options include two license choices:
    J5A-01178
    Endpoint Configuration Manager ALng LSA OLV E 1Y Acad Ent Per OSE
    OR
    J5A-01180
    Endpoint Configuration Manager ALng LSA OLV E 1Y Acad Ent Per User

      Both of these skus are sold per FTE, it would say Add-on vs ENT if you had the option to do an "exact" count. Not all applications allow you to just add on a few users with Open Value Subscription. These are level E so make sure you have the correct program, not sure if you purchase Level F (1000+ FTE)
      J5A-01180 Endpoint Configuration Manager ALng LSA OLV E 1Y Acad ENT Per User
      J5A-01178 Endpoint Configuration Manager ALng LSA OLV E 1Y Acad ENT Per OSE


      You can choose OSE or User depending on the preferred deployment should be the same price.

      Thank you for providing the SKUs. I've confirmed that those products are still available. 

       

      Your question is:

       Can it be licensed by actual users or operating system or does it need to be licensed at FTE count?

       

      The SKU description specifically says "Per OSE" and "Per User", so that tells you how to order each one. 

       

      Please let me know what I'm missing here.

        Some of the licenses have to be ordered via Full-time equivalency count and some do not. I don't think this one does, but was hoping to verify. Some of the licenses are "per user" some "per OSE", some "device", etc, but there are different requirements based on different licenses for this type of licensing agreement.
