Dell License Manager Version 1.7 User's Guide

Managing licenses

You can deploy licenses to licensable systems by using the License Manager. License Manager also supports the export of license archives for backup. The status of available licenses can be viewed from the Licenses view, and the entitlement details of the licenses is available in the Entitlements view. The entitlement details of the licenses are obtained by connecting to the Dell Online account.
NOTE The factory-installed licenses are not retrieved during the discovery and inventory of iDRAC 9 systems. Therefore, the iDRAC 9 licenses are not listed in the Licenses view.

Before you deploy licenses:

  1. Inventory the licensable systems. See Inventorying Licensable Systems.
  2. 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.
  3. Bind the licenses.
  4. Deploy the licenses.
    NOTE To work with licenses, from the License Manager, click Licenses.
