Managing Licenses

iDRAC7 features are available based on the purchased license (Basic Management, iDRAC7 Express, or iDRAC7
Enterprise). Only licensed features are available in the interfaces that allow you to configure or use iDRAC7. For
example, iDRAC7 Web interface, RACADM, WS-MAN, OpenManage Server Administrator, and so on. Some features,
such as dedicated NIC or vFlash requires iDRAC ports card. This is optional on 200-500 series servers.
iDRAC7 license management and firmware update functionality is available through iDRAC7 Web interface and
RACADM.

Types of Licenses

The types of licenses offered are:
• 30 day evaluation and extension — The license expires after 30 days and can be extended for 30 days. Evaluation
licenses are duration based, and the timer runs when power is applied to the system.
• Perpetual — The license is bound to the service tag and is permanent.

Acquiring Licenses

Use any of the following methods to acquire the licenses:
• E-mail — License is attached to an email that is sent after requesting it from the technical support center.
• Self-service portal — A link to the Self-Service Portal is available from iDRAC7. Click this link to open the licensing
Self-Service Portal on the internet. Currently, you can use the License Self-Service Portal to retrieve licenses that
were purchased with the server. You must contact the sales representative or technical support to buy a new or
upgrade license. For more information, see the online help for the self-service portal page.
• Point-of-sale — License is acquired while placing the order for a system.

License Operations

Before you perform the license management tasks, make sure to acquire the licenses. For more information, see the
Overview and Feature Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
NOTE: If you have purchased a system with all the licenses pre-installed, then license management is not required.
You can perform the following licensing operations using iDRAC7, RACADM, WS-MAN, and Lifecycle Controller-Remote
Services for one-to-one license management, and Dell License Manager for one-to-many license management:
• View — View the current license information.
• Import — After acquiring the license, store the license in a local storage and import it into iDRAC7 using one of the
supported interfaces. The license is imported if it passes the validation checks.
