Understanding Licenses

Licenses contain the following properties:

• Entitlement ID — Unique ID for the license.

• License Description — Level of features enabled in the license. For more information about the

functionality supported by each feature level, access the online licensing portal at dell.com/support/

retail/lkm.

Connections License Manager supports Perpetual licenses.

Perpetual licenses are standard licenses that enable features and do not expire.
