Replaced failed main board - how to transfer iDRAC licence
Hi,
I have a server with a failed main board, I bought a replacement (ebay) which doesn't have an iDRAC enterprise licence.
How can I transfer the licence from the failed board to the new (used) board?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
To transfer your iDRAC license you need to have the service tag on the system board set to your service tag.
The replacement system board should not have a Service tag. If it does then you need to get a truly refurbished system board that does not have a service tag.
Two method to restore the service tag

4. Restoring the service tag using Easy Restore
5. Manually setting the service tag when the Easy Restore doesn't work
Important:
- The Service Tag can only be entered when the Service Tag field is empty.
- After the Service Tag is entered, it cannot be updated or changed. Ensure that you enter the correct Service Tag.
- Incorrect service tag entry will require a system board replacement to input the correct service tag.
After you have your service tag set then configure the DRAC settings, log in and go to License tab and import your license.
