List of differences between SAM Foundations & SAM Pro (since I can't install foundations on DevInstance)

[bartonj32]

Hello,

From everything I am reading it appears I cannot install the Software Asset Management Foundations module on my Dev Instance. There does appear to be an option to install the Software Asset Management Pro though?  

I am curious if anyone has a detailed break down of what the differences are thus this way I can attempt to explore options of Foundations and attempt to not use Pro features?? Of course if anyone has been able to install SAM Foundations on their DevInstance, please let me know

Regards

Jason

Hi,

SAM foundation:

A software suite is a group of related software offered as one unit. An example is the Microsoft Office Professional suite of office productivity software tools that includes PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Outlook, and Access.

For any software model, you have the option to specify whether the model is a suite (parent) or a component (child). A software model can be a component in multiple suites. For example, Microsoft Word is a component in Microsoft Office Standard and Microsoft Office Professional. Although you can set a single software model as both a suite and a component, software is not typically sold as nested suites.
