@Pavel yannara Mirochnitchenko BitLocker management resides under endpoint protection in SCCM. To manage endpoint protection via the SCCM need to have an endpoint protection CAL in addition to SCCM Client CALs. So that's where the confusion about licensing for Bitlocker management arises. The simple question here is whether the endpoint protection CAL is needed for the BitLocker management through SCCM.
