I guess customers will have to go with System Center Licensing as it doesn't seem to be any license method for licensing Hybrid Workloads, I see this as a blocker for Azure Adoption.

  Hello Stefan Schörling , sorry the delay. In summary (update now): Microsoft antimalware service in Azure is not SCEP. It's Microsoft antimalware for Azure. SCEP is system center endpoint protection and the only way you get it / deploy it is via system center.
