Additional information
Server Conguration Management license
NOTE: Installing and using OpenManage Essentials does not require the Server Conguration Management license. The
server conguration management feature requires the Server Conguration Management license be installed on target
servers.
The Server Conguration Management license enables you to deploy a device conguration and verify device conguration
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.
NOTE: Enabling the server conguration management feature in OpenManage Essentials does not require any separate
license. If the Server Conguration Management license is installed on a target server, you can use the server
conguration management feature on that server.
NOTE: The Server Conguration Management license is required only for deploying device congurations and verifying
conguration compliance on servers, and this license is not required for creating device conguration template from a
server.
