4 Purchasing iDRAC Enterprise license after server purchase
Moving iDRAC licensing to digital form has eliminated the necessity to purchase and install hardware in your
server to upgrade the iDRAC functionality. What used to require server downtime and physical hardware to
be shipped, can now be done with no impact to the production workload that is running on your PowerEdge
server (zero downtime). The digital license can be purchased by using online sales portal of Dell EMC, or
through a Dell Sales representative.

The email contains information the customer needs to retrieve their license such as:
 order number
 order date
 entitlement ID
 item description
 URL to access the Dell Digital Locker
The email contains the electronic download instructions and a link to the online portal. An example screen
