Licensing behavior in Power Manager for devices:
• If the OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license is expired on or is deleted from the target devices, the devices are removed from
Power Manager. You must add the devices to Power Manager after adding the license.
• If EPR is enabled on a device, and the device is removed from Power Manager due to expired or deleted license, then you cannot
access this device through Power Manager. To disable EPR, go to the iDRAC or CMC page of the device and remove the EPR.
• If a policy and alert thresholds are set on a device, and the device is removed from Power Manager due to expired or deleted license,
then the policy and the threshold is removed for the device.
Licensing behavior in Power Manager for groups:

collected only for these devices in the group.

are removed from Power Manager. After adding the license, these devices are automatically added to Power Manager in the next
inventory cycle.
• If EPR is enabled on a group, and if license has expired or deleted for any device in a group, the device is not removed from Power
Manager.
