MECM plans and licenses
Available Microsoft plans for MECM/SCCM

Microsoft 365 Business Premium limitations
It is important to note that Microsoft 365 Business Premium not offers the same MECM/SCCM licensing benefits as Enterprise (E) or Frontline Worker (F) subscriptions. Although Business Premium includes Intune Plan 1, however, MECM/SCCM licenses are not included in this plan. If your organization needs these features, alternative Microsoft plans or separate licensing are required.
Individual MECM/SCCM licenses
If your company does not want to use one of the above subscriptions, it is possible to purchase MECM/SCCM as a standalone license independently of the Microsoft packages. This flexibility enables companies to individually adapt their IT solutions. We would be happy to provide you with detailed advice on this topic. Arrange a initial consultation.
Attention: Special notes about server management
Managing servers is a central point when using MECM/SCCM. SCCM licenses for managing servers are never included in the above subscriptions and must always be purchased separately. These licenses are essential for companies that want to professionally and efficiently manage server environments.
