Hi.

We are using Endpoint 11.0.7101.1056 and I have just upgraded some Windows clients to Windows 8.

What is needed to get Endpoint working on Windows 8. I know I need Endpoint 12, but do I need to upgrade Endpoint server or just the clients?

yes you need to upgrade SEPM, since SEPM 11 cannot manage SEP 11 clients.
latest version of SEP 12.1 i.e RU2 supports windows 8.

Thanks for this guys. This is what I thought.

How do I know whether my license is valid for 12.1?
