15 Managing Dell EMC PowerEdge Server Software Licenses by using Digital Licensing
Valid Options
-c
FQDD name of the device from where the license file has to be exported.
-e
Entitlement ID of the license to be exported.
-t
Transaction ID of the license to be exported.
Note: To locate the transaction ID, Type RACADM on the License page. The ID is
displayed. It can also be located by expanding the plus sign (+) next to the license
in the GUI.
-l
Network share location (see “Usage Examples” for NFS or CIFS) or local file system
to which the license file must be exported.
-f
Destination license file name. If a filename is not entered, the license file is
assigned <service tag>_<entitlement ID>.xml
-u
Username of the system where the file will be exported.
-p
Password of the user on the system where the file will be exported.
Usage Examples
 Export license to a NFS using transaction ID. In this case, transaction 27 :
racadm license export -f License.xml -l 192.168.2.140:/licshare -t 27
 Export license to a CIFS specifying the entitlement ID. In this case, abcdxyz :
racadm license export -u admin -p passwd -f License.xml
-l //192.168.2.140/licshare -e abcdxyz
 Export license to a CIFS specifying the FQDD. While using the –c option and exporting license(s)
from a device, more than one license file may be exported. Therefore, if a file name is given, an index
will be appended to the end of the file name such as LicenseFile0.xml, and
LicenseFile1.xml. In this case, the device is Embedded iDRAC:
- racadm license export -u root -p calvin -f LicenseFile.xml
-l //192.168.2.140/licshare -c idrac.embedded.1
