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.
