OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license
NOTE:
Installing and using OpenManage Enterprise does not require the OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license. Only
the server configuration management feature—deploying device configurations and verifying configuration compliance on
servers, requires that the OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license is installed on target servers. This license is not
required for creating deployment templates from a server.
The OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license is a perpetual license that is valid for the life of a server, and can be bound to
the Service Tag of only one server at a time. OpenManage Enterprise provides a built-in report to view the list of devices and
their licenses. Select OpenManage Enterprise > Monitor > Reports > License Report, and then click Run. See Run reports
on page 133.
NOTE:
Enabling the server configuration management feature in OpenManage Enterprise does not require any separate
license. If the OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license is installed on a target server, you can use the server configuration
management feature on that server.
OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license—Supported servers
You can deploy the OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license on the following PowerEdge servers:
● YX3X servers having the iDRAC8 2.50.50.50 or later firmware versions. The YX3X firmware versions are backward
compatible and are installable on YX2X hardware. See Generic naming convention for Dell EMC PowerEdge servers on
page 177.
● YX4X servers having the iDRAC9 3.10.10.10 or later firmware versions. See Generic naming convention for Dell EMC
PowerEdge servers on page 177
Purchase OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license
You can purchase the OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license when you purchase a server or by contacting your sales
representative. You can download the purchased license from the Software License Management Portal at Dell.com/support/
retail/lkm.
