Table 1. Manage LicensesThe following table describes the fields displayed in the Manage Licenses page.
Field	Description
Check box	To select all the licenses
Operation Status	Details on whether the license is available for deployment
Entitlement ID	The ID of a license
License Description	The description of a license
System	The name of the system on the license is deployed. If available, the host name is used, otherwise the iDRAC name is used.
Service Tag	The factory-assigned system Service Tag, which uniquely identifies each system. Each license is bound to a particular Service Tag indicating the system on which the license is deployed. NOTE Licenses already deployed on a system do not appear in the Operation Selection page.
Active License	The class and term of the highest class license installed on the system
Credentials
Management Controller Username	Type the management controller user name. If you are using Active Directory authentication, enter the user name in the format domain\user name. NOTE The management controller login privilege is required to perform system inventory.
Management Controller Password	Type the management controller password
WS-Man Settings	Dell License Manager uses the management controller WS-Man interface to obtain inventory information
Validate Certificate Name	If enabled, this ensures that inventory communications are conducted only with systems identifying themselves based on a certificate that matches the address used to communicate with that system. If the iDRAC certificate does not match the discovery address, then disable certificate name validation for Dell License Manager to communicate with iDRAC. However, if the certificate name is not validated, Dell License Manager cannot authenticate the identity of the remote system.
Validate Certificate Authority	If enabled, this ensures that inventory communications are conducted only with systems identifying themselves based on a certificate issued by a trusted source. If the iDRAC certificate is not issued by a trusted authority, then disable validation for Dell License Manager to communicate with the management controller. However, if the certificate authority is not validated, Dell License Manager cannot authenticate the identity of the remote system. For validation, include a trusted certificate authority as part of the Trusted Root Certification Authorities list in Microsoft Windows. For more information, see the Microsoft Windows documentation.
Validate Certificate Revocation List	If enabled, this ensures that communications are not conducted with a system identifying itself using a certificate that is revoked. If the management console cannot communicate with a certificate revocation list server, then disable this option to communicate with iDRAC. However, if the certificate revocation list is not validated, Dell License Manager cannot authenticate the identity of the remote system.
Retries	The number of communication retry attempts made if temporary WS-Man communication errors occur before the inventory attempt fails. The default is 1 retry, and the total attempts is 2.
Timeout	The time within which the WS-Man host must begin to return data before the communication attempt fails. The default is 30 seconds.
Port	The HTTPS communication port configured on the iDRACs. The default port is 443. On this port, ensure that the firewall settings allow HTTPS communication between the management station and iDRACs. To save changes and proceed with discovery/inventory, click Next.
