  • Import a new license to a specific device in a known location. 
    $racadm license import -f license.xml -l //shareip/sharename
-u <share user> -p <share user password> -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Import a license from a CIFS share to a device, in this case Embedded iDRAC. 
     racadm license import -u admin -p xxx -f License.xml -l //192.168.0/licshare -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Import a license from an NFS share to a device, in this case Embedded iDRAC. 
     racadm license import -f Licen.xml -l 192.168.0:/share -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Import a license from an HTTP share to a device, in this case Embedded iDRAC. 
     racadm license import -f Licen.xml -u httpuser -p httppswd -l http://test.com -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Import a license from an HTTPS share to a device, in this case Embedded iDRAC. 
     racadm license import -f Licen.xml -u httpsuser -p httpspswd -l https://test.com -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Import a license from an FTP share to a device, in this case Embedded iDRAC. 
     racadm license import -f Licen.xml -u ftpuser -p ftppwd -l ftp://test.com/share -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Import a license from an TFTP share to a device, in this case Embedded iDRAC. 
     racadm license import -f Licen.xml -l tftp://test.com/share -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Import a license by overriding the EULA warning. 
    racadm license import -u admin -p passwd -f License.xml -l //192.168.0/licshare -c idrac.embedded.1 -o
    -Import a license from the local filesystem using local racadm: racadm license import -f License.xml -c idrac.embedded.1
    -Import a license from the local filesystem using remote racadm: racadm license import -f C:\Mylicdir\License.xml -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Import a license from the local file system using Local RACADM. 
     racadm license import -f License.xml -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Import a license from the local file system using Remote RACADM. 
     racadm -r 192.168.0.1 -u admin -p xxx license import -f C:\Mylicdir\License.xml -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Export a license file. 
    racadm license export -f license.xml -l 192.168.0:/share -u uname -p xxx -c iDRAC.Embedded.1
    Instead of -c, you can use -e <ID> or -t <ID>. For Remote RACADM, if filename is not specified, the files are exported to the directory where RACADM is running.
  • Export license to an NFS share using transaction ID, in this case transaction 27. 
    racadm license export -f License.xml -l 192.168.0:/licshare
-t 27
  • Export license to a CIFS share specifying the entitlement ID, in this case abcdxyz. 
    racadm license export -u admin -p passwd -f License.xml -l //192.168.0/licshare -e abcdxyz
    racadm license export -u httpuser -p httppwd -f License.xml -l http://test.com -e abcdxyz
    racadm license export -u httpsuser -p httpspwd -f License.xml -l https://test.com -e abcdxyz
    racadm license export -f License.xml -l tftp://test.com/share -e abcdxyz
    racadm license export -u ftpuser -p ftppwd -f License.xml -l ftp://test.com/share -e abcdxyz
  • Export license to a CIFS share specifying the FQDD. While using the -c option and exporting a license from a device, more than one license file may be exported. Therefore if a filename is given, an index is appended to the end of the filename such asLicenseFile0.xml, LicenseFile1.xml. In this case, the device is Embedded iDRAC. 
    racadm license export -u admin -p xxx -f LicenseFile.xml -l //192.168.0/licshare -c idrac.embedded.1
    racadm license export -u httpuser -p httppswd -f LicenseFile.xml -l http://test.com -c idrac.embedded.1
    racadm license export -u httpsuser -p httpspswd -f LicenseFile.xml -l https://test.com -c idrac.embedded.1
    racadm license export -f LicenseFile.xml -l tftp://test.com/share -c idrac.embedded.1
    racadm license export -u ftpuser -p ftppwd -f LicenseFile.xml -l ftp://test.com/share -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Delete licenses on a particular device, in this case Embedded iDRAC. 
    racadm license delete -c idrac.embedded.1
  • Delete a license using entitlement ID, in this case xYZabcdefg. 
    racadm license delete -e xYZabcdefg
  • Delete a license using transaction ID, in this case 2. 
    racadm license delete -t 2
