Do I need a license to use OCM v7 Legacy?

Managing Products via OCM Does Not Require a License

Using OCM to manage and monitor products like MetaDefender Core, Email Gateway Security, or Kiosk does not require a separate license. A license is only needed in specific cases, such as exceeding the deployment limit for MetaDefender Endpoint or Kiosk L-Series (Linux). See the screenshot below:
