View iDRAC7 license key
Is there a way to view or export the iDRAC7 license key from the Lifecycle Controller of from the DRAC GUI?
I need to view and documant all of ours asap.
We just had a mobo replaced and didn't have the key that was shipped with the new server so DRAC is now dead until we can get the key from our rep and reboot. Boo.

Cameron,
You can download the iDRAC license file from Server -> Licenses page of iDRAC GUI.

If I wish to keep my iDRAC7 key backups on a linux server on the same LAN as my dracs and manage key export and import via racadm. How would I do that as when I run this command when logged into the drac over ssh it fails:
racadm license export -f SN_of_server.drac.key -l x.x.x.x -u root -p rootpass -c iDRAC.Embedded.1
x.x.x.x is a linux server in the same /24 as the drac

Cameron,
Do you created a NFS or CIFS share on the Linux machine? For -l option to work we need to create NFS or CIFS share on the Linux server where you are planning to keep all license files.
If you are using CIFS share you can use following command to take a backup of the license.
racadm license export -f -l //Linux Server IP/Share Name -u -p -c iDRAC.Embedded.1
If you are using NFS share you can use following command to take a backup of the license.
racadm license export -f -l Linux Server IP:/Share Name -c iDRAC.Embedded.1
Another option you have is to use Remote Racadm utility. In this case there is no need to create share on your Linux server. You can download this from below link (for RHEL) and install on your linux machine

After this you can run following remote racadm command to export the license to local file system
racadm -r -u -p license export -f -c iDRAC.Embedded.1

Thank you Shine!
Can that Remote Racadm utility be used to also import a license?

Yes. Commands are similar. Replace Export with Import. To get more details and usage you can run follwoing commands
For Remote Racadm
racadm -r -u -p help license
racadm -r -u -p help license import
racadm -r -u -p help license export
For SSH
racadm help license
racadm help license import
racadm help license export
