description: Microsoft Configuration Manager (formerly System Center Configuration Manager / SCCM, now
  part of the Microsoft Intune family) is licensed per managed device. There is no public per-device standalone
  list price; entitlement is acquired through Microsoft 365 E3/E5, Microsoft Intune Plan 1 (which grants
  co-management rights), or via a System Center / Core CAL Suite agreement under an Enterprise Agreement.
  The administration surface (SMS Provider, AdminService REST API, WMI) is included with the licensed
  on-premises product at no incremental per-call charge.
