About Dell EMC License Manager
Dell EMC License Manager is a one-to-many license deployment and reporting tool for integrated Dell Remote Access Controller
(iDRAC) and Chassis Management Controller (CMC) licenses.
License Manager can download, bind, deploy, and back up:
● iDRAC licenses on all PowerEdge servers (denoted as yx2x and yx3x) that are equipped with an iDRAC9, iDRAC8, or iDRAC7
Dell Remote Access controller.
NOTE: For the server name format yxxx; y denotes alphabets, for example, M (modular), R (rack), or T (tower) and x
denotes numbers. For example, a PowerEdge R720 is a 12th Generation rack mount 700 series server.
● CMC licenses on PowerEdge VRTX and PowerEdge FX or FX2s chassis.
● OpenManage Essentials perpetual licenses.
● PowerEdge storage sled licenses.
License Manager can also inventory licensable systems to report the licensing status and currently enabled management
controller feature level.
Use the iDRAC licenses to enable server management capabilities such as the virtual media and remote console support
currently available in the Enterprise iDRAC feature set.
Use CMC licenses to enable chassis management capabilities such as console integration, remote access, mutli-chassis
management, server cloning, and so on.
You can download licenses from the Dell Online Licensing Portal at dell.com/support/retail/lkm. You can purchase licenses
when you purchase a server or a chassis.
