Licensing for the Appliance using

Connections License Manager

The 11th to 13th generation of PowerEdge servers are licensed.

The appliance is licensed and the licensing is based on entitlement. Without a license, you can discover

the servers, but only a valid license allows you to use the features available in this release. With a valid

license, you can configure the number of servers equal to the number specified in the license.

For every hardware configuration or hypervisor deployment in the appliance, one license is consumed in

Dell Connections License Manager.

To view license details, you can launch the Dell Connections License Manager from DLCI Admin Portal —

SC2012 VMM.

Also, you can view license status in the appliance.

Deleting Servers From DLCI Console

You can delete the unassigned servers and host servers as follows:

• You can delete an unassigned server that is not provisioned in SC2012 VMM.

• If a server is provisioned in SC2012 VMM and present in the appliance, then you must first delete the

server in SC2012 VMM and then delete the server from the appliance.

In DLCI Console:

• To delete unassigned servers: In Unassigned Servers, select the server and click Delete and in the

confirmation message click Yes.

If the unassigned server is associated with a license, then after the server is deleted the associated

license is relinquished.

• To delete host servers: In Host Servers, select the server and click Delete and in the confirmation

message click Yes.

If the host server is associated with a license, then after the server is deleted the associated

license is relinquished.
