License operations
Before you perform the license management tasks, ensure that you acquire the licenses. For more information, see the Methods
for acquiring licenses.
NOTE: If you have purchased a system with all the licenses pre-installed, then license management is not required.
You can perform the following licensing operations using iDRAC, RACADM, WSMan, Redfish and Lifecycle Controller-Remote
Services 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 iDRAC using one of the supported
interfaces. The license is imported if it passes the validation checks.
NOTE:
Although you can export the factory-installed license, you cannot import it. To import the license, download the
equivalent license from the Digital Locker or retrieve it from the email you received when you purchased the license.
NOTE: After importing the license, you need to re-login to iDRAC. This is applicable only for iDRAC web interface.
● Export — Exports the installed license. For more information, see the iDRAC Online Help.
● Delete — Deletes the license. For more information, see the iDRAC Online Help.
● Learn More — Learn more about an installed license, or the licenses available for a component installed in the server.
