About Dell License Manager

Dell License Manager is a one-to-many license deployment and reporting tool for integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) and Chassis Management Controller (CMC) licenses.

By using License Manager, you can download, bind, deploy, and back up:

• Dell OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center (OMIMSWAC) licenses
• Dell OpenManage Integration with ServiceNow (OMISNOW) licenses
• iDRAC Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM) licenses
• iDRAC licenses on all the PowerEdge servers that have either iDRAC9, iDRAC8, or iDRAC7 preinstalled from the factory
• CMC licenses on PowerEdge VRTX and PowerEdge FX or FX2s chassis
• OpenManage Enterprise Advanced licenses
• OpenManage Enterprise Advanced+ licenses for 13^th generation PowerEdge servers
• OpenManage Enterprise Advanced+ licenses for 14^th generation and later PowerEdge servers
• iDRAC9 x5 Enterprise license for AMD-based 15^th generation and later PowerEdge servers
• iDRAC9 x5 Datacenter license for AMD-based 15^th generation and later PowerEdge servers
• PowerEdge storage sled licenses

You can also inventory licensable systems to report the licensing status and features of the currently enabled management controller.

Use the iDRAC licenses to enable server management capabilities such as the virtual media and remote console support currently available in the Enterprise iDRAC feature set.

Use CMC licenses to enable chassis management capabilities such as console integration, remote access, mutli-chassis management, and server cloning.

You can download licenses from the Dell Online Licensing Portal at dell.com/support/retail/lkm. You can purchase licenses when you purchase a server or a chassis.
