OME-Modular licenses
OME-Modular features are available based on licenses, which are available in XML format. Following are the types of licenses
supported:
● Perpetual—Validity is unlimited and is effective until the license is removed or deleted. Perpetual license is bound to the
chassis service tag.
● Evaluation—Validity is for a short duration and the timer starts after the license is imported or installed. The timer is a
monotonic clock that counts the time that the system is operational. The time is accumulated to a checkpoint file to ensure
that the license restrictions are not bypassed. The timer stops during a firmware shutdown or reboot and resumes after the
firmware is ready. An alert is displayed as the license nears expiry.
The licenses can be downloaded from the Dell Digital Locker.
You can import and view the license details on the Installed Licenses page. The license type is also displayed on the Chassis
Overview page.
