OpenManage Enterprise—Server Configuration
Management License
NOTE:
Installing and using OpenManage Enterprise does not require the OpenManage Enterprise — Server
Configuration Management license. Only the server configuration management feature requires that the OpenManage
Enterprise — Server Configuration Management license is installed on target servers. This license is not required for
creating device configuration template from a server. The OpenManage Enterprise — Server Configuration
Management and OpenManage Essentials licenses are required only for deploying device configurations and verifying
configuration compliance on servers.
The OpenManage Enterprise — Server Configuration Management license enables you to deploy a device configuration and verify device
configuration compliance on licensed servers. The 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.
Click OpenManage Enterprise > Monitor > Reports > License Report. Click Run. See Run reports.
NOTE:
Enabling the server configuration management feature in OpenManage Enterprise does not require any separate
license. If the OpenManage Enterprise — Server Configuration Management license is installed on a target server, you
can use the server configuration management feature on that server.
Licensable Servers
You can deploy the OpenManage Enterprise — Server Configuration Management license on the following PowerEdge servers:
• 13th generation (13G) servers having the iDRAC8 2.50.50.50 or later firmware versions. 13G iDRAC versions are backward compatible
to support the iDRAC7 versions (12G) also.
• 14th generation (14G) servers having the iDRAC9 3.10.10.10 or later firmware versions.
