Dell Chassis Management Controller Version 3.0 for Dell EMC PowerEdge VRTX User's Guide

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 support.dell.com.

You can perform the following licensing operations using CMC, RACADM, and WS-MAN 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 CMC using one of the supported interfaces. The license is imported if it passes the validation checks.
  NOTE For a few features, a CMC restart may be required to enable the features.
• Export — Export the installed license into an external storage device back up or to reinstall it after a service part is replaced. 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 CMC 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. For more information about license, click Dell Software License Management Portal .
• Learn More — Learn more about an installed license, or the licenses available for a component installed in the server.
