3 License Requirements
After the plugin is installed, the next step is to import the licenses on devices to make them Power Manager
capable devices. The metric collection for the devices begins after adding them to Power Manager
(Monitoring List). If the license is already imported, perform a re-inventory of the system to find capable
devices for power monitoring and management in Power Manager.
This section details the license and device capability requirements for managing and monitoring of devices.
