Importing License After Replacing Motherboard
You can use the Local iDRAC7 Enterprise License Installation Tool if you have recently replaced the motherboard and
need to reinstall the iDRAC7 Enterprise license locally (with no network connectivity) and activate the dedicated NIC.
This utility installs a 30-day trial iDRAC7 Enterprise license and allows you to reset the iDRAC to change from shared NIC
to dedicated NIC.
