Exporting License Archives

You can export an archive of all licenses available in the system. You can use this archive as a backup when a system is repaired

and the Licensing Portal is not accessible (due to a security restricted network.) You can also use the archived licenses for

transfer among the License Manager installations. License Manager retrieves factory-installed licenses during discover and

inventory of systems. When you archive licenses, a package containing a compressed file of .xml license files, similar to the

license package downloaded from the Dell Online Licensing Portal is created.

NOTE: The factory-installed licenses are not retrieved during the discovery and inventory of iDRAC 9 systems.

To export licenses:

1. From Licenses, select the licenses and click Export Archive.

2. Specify the folder location to save the archived file. Click Save.

The licenses are archived in the compressed file format (.zip format.)
