Managing Licenses

The CMC features are available based on the license (CMC Express or CMC Enterprise) purchased. Only licensed features are available in

the interfaces that allow you to configure or use CMC. For example, CMC Web interface, RACADM, WS-MAN, and so on. CMC license

management and firmware update functionality is always available through CMC Web interface and RACADM.

Types of Licenses

The types of licenses offered are:

• 30 day evaluation and extension — The license expires after 30 days that can be extended for 30 days. Evaluation licenses are

duration-based, and the timer runs when power is applied to the system.

• Perpetual — The license is bound to the service tag and is permanent.

Acquiring Licenses

Use any of the following methods to acquire the licenses:

• E-mail — License is attached to an e-mail that is sent after requesting it from the technical support center.

• Self-service portal — A link to the Self-Service Portal is available from CMC. Click this link to open the licensing Self-Service Portal on

the internet from where you can purchase licenses. For more information, see the online help for the self-service portal page.

• Point-of-sale — License is acquired while placing the order for a system.

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:

NOTE: If you have purchased a system with all the licenses pre-installed, then license management is not required.

• 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.
