License Operations

Before you perform the license management tasks, make sure to acquire the licenses. For more information, see the Overview and Feature Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

  • NOTE: If you have purchased a system with all the licenses pre-installed, then license management is not required.
You can perform the following licensing operations using iDRAC7, RACADM, WS-MAN, and Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services for one-to-one license management, and Dell License Manager for one-to-many license management:
  • View — View the current license information.
  • Import — After acquiring the license, store the license in a local storage and import it into iDRAC7 using one of the supported interfaces. The license is imported if it passes the validation checks.
    • NOTE: For a few features, a system restart is required to enable the features.
  • Export — Export the installed license into an external storage device for backup or to reinstall it again after a part or motherboard replacement. The file name and format of the exported license is <EntitlementID>.xml.
  • Delete — Delete the license that is assigned to a component if the component is missing. After the license is deleted, it is not stored in iDRAC7 and the base product functions are enabled.
  • Replace — Replace the license to extend an evaluation license, change a license type such as an evaluation license with a purchased license, or extend an expired license.
    • An evaluation license may be replaced with an upgraded evaluation license or with a purchased license.
    • A purchased license may be replaced with an updated license or with an upgraded license.
  • Learn More — Learn more about an installed license, or the licenses available for a component installed in the server.
    • NOTE: For the Learn More option to display the correct page, make sure that *.dell.com is added to the list of Trusted Sites in the Security Settings. For more information, see the Internet Explorer help documentation.

For one-to-many license deployment, you can use Dell License Manager. For more information, see the Dell License Manager User’s Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
