Licensing for Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center
Licensing for Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center is available either as part of bundle or separately.
Evaluation license: A trial version of the license to enable evaluation for up to five servers (hosts or unassigned) which is auto imported after the installation.
Bundle production license: The OpenManage Platinum Bundle production license is a set of licenses per a single node that include the following products:
OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center for Endpoint Configuration Manager
OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager
The bundle license provides a set of licenses for a single node. The number of bundle licenses should be equal to the number of nodes to be managed/monitored.
Separate production license: The separate production licenses can either be variable or unlimited. The separate production licenses are comprised of two parts: a base license per console and a node license. The base license is required for each console integration. A separate base license is required for use of Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center. The number of node licenses is based on the number of servers to be managed by each console.
Base license: The base license entitles use of one console. Use of more than one console requires a separate license for each console.
Node license: The node license entitles the management for one node (server) to connect to one Microsoft System Center console integration. Node licenses are available per generation of servers. For example, a 14th generation node license will enable management of any one 14th generation server. Similarly, management of a 15th generation server would require one 15th generation node license. The number of generation node licenses required would be the total of number of servers in a given generation. The total number of node licenses required would be the total number of servers in all servers across all supported generations. For additional information on server generations, see Dell PowerEdge servers by generation.
Variable license: The variable license provides a per node license that should be equal to the number of nodes to be managed/monitored. If a server is discovered in a console, a license is used. And, if a server is deleted, a license is released. Stack multiple production licenses to increase the number of supported servers to the sum of the servers in the uploaded licenses.
Unlimited license: The unlimited license is used by OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center to enable monitoring or management of an unlimited quantity of Dell EMC PowerEdge servers in a given generation.
Purchase license: License(s) can be included at time of server purchase or purchased separately by contacting your local Dell EMC sales representative. The OpenManage Portfolio Software Licensing Guide provides additional information for licensing options for your organization including pricing.
Download license: Purchased OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center license(s) can be downloaded from Dell Digital Locker. License keys will be stored online and can be downloaded if needed. If an existing license key in not available in the Dell Digital Locker or there is an issue with a license key, please contact Dell EMC Technical Support or Customer Care.
