Purchasing Licenses
To leverage the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring
(Licensed) feature functionalities, you must purchase licenses (based on the desired number of managed nodes) from Dell. The
order confirmation and
license is sent as an e-mail to the e-mail ID that you have specified
in My Account — Dell. The purchased licenses are also downloadable
from the Dell Digital Locker portal at

Monitoring (Licensed) feature for Operations Manager: In Operations Manager, select
The number of nodes consumed is displayed in the
Total Node Count column.
Change from Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version
6.0 for Operations Manager
Until Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.0
for Operations Manager; Dell Connections License Manager (DCLM) was required to
manage licenses. For Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.1
and later, you do not require DCLM.
There is no longer a license-count enforcement post
DCLM being removed. You can continue to manage the PowerEdge servers
using Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature for
Operations Manager even after reaching or exceeding the limit of the number of
licenses purchased from Dell. The
Checking License Usage section presents the steps to help you determine the number of nodes
being managed to ensure that you have the appropriate number of license
entitlements from Dell Inc. Purchase additional licenses if the number
of nodes you are managing exceeds the number of licenses you have
purchased.
Licenses that you have purchased for Dell Server
Management Pack Suite Version 6.0 for Operations Manager are still applicable
to Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.1 and later for Operations Manager.
So, after a product upgrade, the earlier license is still valid and
you can still manage servers per the permissible count mentioned in
the previously purchased license.

terms as the product EULA. You can get the latest updated license
