5 Managing Dell EMC PowerEdge Server Software Licenses by using Digital Licensing
1 Purchasing PowerEdge servers with installed licenses
For the 12th and 13th generation of PowerEdge servers, you can purchase license upgrades from Dell EMC,
and the licenses are applied directly in the factory. There is no license to download and install when
purchased at the point of sale. To ensure that a key is never lost, Dell EMC also stores a copy of the key and
makes it available in an online License Management portal (www.dell.com/support/licensing). The only other
thing you must do after deploying your new server into production is to set up your account and authorize
users who can access the digital license on the License Management Portal of Dell EMC, in case your license
gets lost at some point in the future. The online portal is the best way to review all your iDRAC license keys.
