Hello
Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query related to DPM licensing.
You can upgrade to System Center 2016/2019 versions without making a new request if you already have earlier versions of System Center with active Software Assurance. Organizations with Software Assurance will be given a set number of core licenses dependent on how many processor licenses they have because System Center 2016 has switched to a core-based licensing model.
I appreciate you asking and getting in touch. I can appreciate that you have questions or concerns about
