Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.0 User's Guide

NOTE: Installing and using OpenManage Enterprise does not require the OpenManage Enterprise — Server Configuration Management license. Only the server configuration management feature requires that the OpenManage Enterprise — Server Configuration Management license is installed on target servers. This license is not required for creating device configuration template from a server. The OpenManage Enterprise — Server Configuration Management and OpenManage Essentials licenses are required only for deploying device configurations and verifying configuration compliance on servers.

The OpenManage Enterprise — Server Configuration Management license enables you to deploy a device configuration and verify device configuration compliance on licensed servers. The license is a perpetual license that is valid for the life of a server, and can be bound to the Service Tag of only one server at a time. OpenManage Enterprise provides a built-in report to view the list of devices and their licenses. Click OpenManage Enterprise > Monitor > Reports > License Report. Click Run. See Run reports.

NOTE: Enabling the server configuration management feature in OpenManage Enterprise does not require any separate license. If the OpenManage Enterprise — Server Configuration Management license is installed on a target server, you can use the server configuration management feature on that server.
