Hi there,
Now that System Center 2012 is published, it is evident that Microsoft WILL NOT grande the right for SCVMM 2012 to SCVMM 2008 Workgroup customers.
My account still lists the 2008 R2 license, when all my other System Center 2007 products where updated to 2012!
Is there any plan to fix this?!
Thanks.

Is Microsoft kidding us?!
It was nice to get our SA money, wasn't it?
Now, either deliver the upgrade or give the money back.

Monday, July 09, 2012 6:53 AMAs I understand, they upgraded "SCVMM Workgroup Edition" with SA to "System Center Standard". SCVMM 2012 does not exist as a separate product, it is part of the System Center suite now.

No.
1st: Microsoft didn't entitle it's SCVMM Workgroup to any System Center 2012 product. Not even it's Standard edition.
2nd: Even if they did, functionality would not be comparable and all the way worthless. SCVMM Workgroup allows us to manage 5 hosts with unlimited OSEs. SCVMM 2012 Standard only allows us to manage 1 host with 2 CPUs, and only 4 Virtual OSEs.
3rd: Microsoft re-addded SCVMM 2008 R2 Workgroup to the July price list, so for them it's still a current product not needing any update. That way they don't need to grant any new update

The weird thing is that SCVMM Workgroup Edition disappeared from our License Summary, and instead a "System Center 2012 Standard" license is now there. But still that doesn't help me when I have 3 Hyper-V hosts with 12 processors and 80 virtual machines ...1st: Microsoft didn't entitle it's SCVMM Workgroup to any System Center 2012 product. Not even it's Standard edition.
