OpenManage Server Configuration Management
License
NOTE: Installing and using OpenManage Enterprise does not require the OpenManage Server Configuration
Management license. Only the server configuration management feature—deploying device configurations and verifying
configuration compliance on servers, requires that the OpenManage Server Configuration Management license is
installed on target servers. This license is not required for creating device configuration template from a server.
The OpenManage Server Configuration Management 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.
NOTE: Enabling the server configuration management feature in OpenManage Enterprise does not require any separate
license. If the OpenManage Server Configuration Management license is installed on a target server, you can use the
server configuration management feature on that server.
