  Hi There, I've updated the SP1 download link and the System Center 2012 download link to both point to the System Center 2012 with SP1 download.  This combined download can be used to either perform a fresh install of System Center 2012 SP1 or upgrade an existing System Center 2012 installation to SP1. Hope this helps! Best regards, Keith

  Hi MrClean, The link above for downloading System Center 2012 includes SP1 RTM integrated with the installation bits.  A separate download of the SP1 RTM bits is not yet available, but I'll update the post with that link as soon as it becomes available Best regards, Keith
