Download OS10 image and license
This information explains how to download an OS10 image and license.
OS10 may come factory-loaded and is available for download from the Dell Digital Locker (DDL). A factory-loaded OS10 image includes a
perpetual license. An OS10 image that you download has a 120-day trial license, and requires a perpetual license to run beyond the trial
period.

Reinstall license on factory-loaded OS10
OS10 runs with a perpetual license on an ONIE-enabled device with OS10 factory-loaded. The license file is installed on the switch. If the
license becomes corrupted or wiped out, you must download the license from DDL under the purchaser's account and reinstall it.
1. Sign in to DDL using your account credentials.
2. Locate the hardware product name with the entitlement ID and order number.
3. Check that the device service tag displays in the Assigned To: field on the Products page.
4. Click Key Available for Download.
5. Select how to receive the license key — by email message or downloaded to your local device.
6. Click Submit.
7. Save the License.zip file and follow the steps in Install OS10 license.
