5 Backing up and restoring iDRAC license keys
Dell EMC iDRAC license keys can be individually backed up and restored using the Lifecycle Controller,
iDRAC GUI, RACADM, or WS-Man interfaces, or Dell EMC License Manager can back up and restore
licenses on a one-to-many basis. For more information about using DLM to backup and restore licenses, see
Using the Dell EMC OpenManage License Manager in this technical white paper.
Enterprise-level backup and restore is part of the Lifecycle Controller. The backup and restore process backs
up and restores all types of licenses.
