8 Using the Dell EMC OpenManage License Manager
Dell EMC License Manager is a one-many license deployment and reporting tool for iDRAC and other
licenses. DLM can deploy and back up licenses, and report about licensing status, including the currently
enabled iDRAC feature level. The new features in DLM are managing licenses for volume binding and
distribution by connecting to Dell Online and normalizing a unique password for the ‘root’ user on the multiple
iDRAC9 servers.
