Describes the features that require OpenManage Enterprise Advanced and Advanced+ license .
Installing and using OpenManage Enterprise does not require the
OpenManage Enterprise Advanced or OpenManage Enterprise Advanced+ license. However, an
OpenManage Enterprise Advanced or Advanced+ license provides support for additional advanced automation and configuration features. The
OpenManage Enterprise Advanced or Advanced+ are perpetual licenses that are valid for the life of a server and can be bound to the Service Tag of only one server at a time. For information about viewing a list of managed devices and their licenses, see
