Importing license after replacing motherboard
You can use the Local iDRAC Enterprise License Installation Tool if you have recently replaced the motherboard and need to reinstall the
iDRAC Enterprise license locally (with no network connectivity) and activate the dedicated NIC. This utility installs a 30-day trial iDRAC
Enterprise license and allows you to reset the iDRAC to change from shared NIC to dedicated NIC.
