Licensing
OpenManage Power Center requires a valid license for capping the 13th and 14th generation of PowerEdge systems (advanced
power capping).
NOTE:
Starting OpenManage Power Center 4.0, you do not require a license to monitor a Non-Dell device (third-party
power monitoring), as the support is in-built with the software. If a Non-Dell license exists, the status is displayed as
Obsolete.
