- PolicyPak Preferences Manager and
- PolicyPak Security Settings Manager data.
- PolicyPak File Associations Manager
- PolicyPak Browser Router

Also note what is NOT required to be licensed:
- Admin Stations…
a. You don’t need a license for anywhere the GPMC is running / editing / creating GPOS.
b. You don’t need a license for anywhere the PolicyPak Group Policy Compliance Reporter Admin Station (Client) is running.
- Again: You DON’T need a license for endpoints to use GP Compliance Reporter to REPORT on PolicyPak-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.)
- PP Compliance Reporter SERVER is no longer licensed. Only PP Compliance Reporter ENDPOINTS are licensed.
- None of the PP “Support” tools like the PolicyPak Application Manager Design Studio, Powershell add-ins, or GPOTouch utility need to be licensed.
