Also note what is not required to be licensed:

Step 1 – Admin Stations

  • You do not need a license for anywhere the GPMC is running / editing / creating GPOS.
  • You do not need a license for anywhere the Endpoint Policy Manager Group Policy Compliance Reporter Admin Station (Client) is running.

Step 2 – Again: You don't need a license for endpoints to use GP Compliance Reporter to report on Endpoint Policy Manager -delivered specific component items. This is automatically licensed.

Remember, you do need a PP Compliance Reporter Endpoint license if you want to report on Microsoft Group Policy item types like Group Policy Security Settings.

Step 3 – PP Compliance Reporter server is no longer licensed. Only PP Compliance Reporter endpoints are licensed.

Step 4 – None of the PP Support tools like the Endpoint Policy Manager Application Manager Design Studio, Powershell add-ins, or GPOTouch utility need to be licensed.
