iDRAC 8 Enterprise Trial License

Hi,

Sorry if this question is in the wrong forum.

Is there any sort of trial Enterprise license for the iDRAC 8? I want to test the remote control to see how mounting an image works remotely before I make a purchase.

Hello

Trial licenses can only be provided by sales. You will need to contact your account team to request a trial.

Thanks

DELL SLI utility has a evaluation license . Download the ISO , boot to it, and I believe there is a icon on the desktop that will install the license.

I'm having the same problem...  Worked fine on an iDRAC 7, but not the 8.

For anyone having trouble uploading the license, use internet explorer.  It failed for me in Chrome, worked in IE.

Worked like a charm in IE. You're a lifesaver.

Thanks for the quick response, I am aware of the link, the issue I am having is the download link does not work, clicking on the download link does nothing on this web page.

One more thing, I am getting an error if I logged into my DELL account and trying to access the web page:

"This article is permission based. Find another article."

If I am not logged into my DELL account, I am able to open the download web page.  I think someone from DELL needs to look into this KB article to fix it.  Thanks!

Hi,

 

we will escalate this to our team for website fixing, they will fix this as soon as possible, i did not know how long they will need exactly.

 

I you want this download faster you have to contact your sales person and agree terms and conditions for this download.

 

regards Martin

Hi Martin,

Thanks for escalating the issue, I've already contacted sales but all they did was to send me the quote to buy the enterprise license.  With small shop like us we can't afford to pay over $400 for a license we only use maybe a few times due to the pandemic, really appreciate DELL offer the extended trial license to make life of the admins like us easier during this difficult time.  I will wait for the fix of the web page.  Thanks again!
