• Inventory systems on which you want to deploy licenses.
• Confirm that the inventoried systems are licensable.
• Confirm that the licenses are downloaded from Dell Online Licensing Portal.
• Confirm that the required licenses are imported into Dell License Manager.
NOTE: If numerous systems have licenses with the same Entitlement ID, then the
duplicate licenses are flagged for potential licensing problems.
NOTE: You cannot remove licenses deployed to iDRAC systems using Dell License
Manager. To remove a license from iDRAC, run the appropriate commands using
the iDRAC GUI, RACADM, or WS-Man interface. Connect to the iDRAC GUI using
the link provided in the System Inventory table. For more information, see the iDRAC
documentation.

communication settings and click
