everal users have asked if it’s possible to obtain the license file. The consensus is that there is no universal license file available; each license is tied to the chassis tag and serial number of the specific storage system. The original license file should have been retained by the previous owner. Unfortunately, since you cannot contact the original owner, this complicates retrieval. Most license files are stored in Dell Digital Locker. However, if the system ownership has not been transferred to your account, the file will not appear in your locker.
If the devices are still operational, you can try accessing Dell Storage Manager (DSM) or Enterprise Manager Client. Navigate to:
System Manager → System → Licenses
and check if there’s an option to view or export the license keys.
