Dell License Manager Version 1.7 User's Guide

Binding licenses

You can bind all the unbound licenses to the inventoried systems by using the License Manager. Before you bind the licenses:
  • Discover and inventory the licensable systems.
  • Obtain and import licenses by doing one of the following:
    • Connecting to Dell Online to automatically import the unbound licenses from the Dell Online account.
    • Downloading the license archives from Dell Online Licensing Portal and importing the licenses into License Manager.
  1. In the License Manager, click Actions > Bind Licenses.
    The Bind Licenses window is displayed.
  2. Select the license type and click Next.
    The License Manager binds the unbound licenses of the selected type to the respective systems. A single system can be selected to bind the license.
  3. Select the system name to be bound for the license type.
    The Service Tag and model of the system is displayed.
  4. Select the Deploy licenses after binding check box to deploy the licenses after they are bound to a system, and then click Next.
    NOTE If the Deploy licenses after binding option is not selected, the licenses will be bound to the system but not deployed. These licenses can be deployed later as required.
  5. If the Deploy licenses after binding option is selected, the Management Controller credentials window is displayed. Enter the Management Controller credentials, confirm the WS-Man protocol communication settings. Click Next.
  6. Summary of the binding assignments for the selected license type is displayed. Click Save Report to save the binding report as a .csv, .html or .xml file, and then click Finish to complete the binding and deployment of the selected license types.
