The License Manager supports the feature to connect to Dell Online by using a different account. The systems can be discovered by using more than one account and not a single account. By logging in to different accounts, the account-specific licenses can be downloaded and bound to the discovered systems. The entitlements of the current account are not displayed when you log in to a different account.
To log in to another Dell Online account:
In License Manager, click
Actions > Login to another Dell account.
