OMIMSSC license
OMIMSSC has two types of licenses:
● Evaluation license—this is a trial version of the license containing an evaluation license for five servers (hosts or unassigned)
which is auto imported after the installation. This is applicable only for 11th and later generations of the Dell EMC servers.
● Production license—you can purchase production license from Dell EMC for any number of servers to be managed by
OMIMSSC. This license includes product support and OMIMSSC Appliance updates.
When you purchase a license, the .XML file (license key) is available for download through the Dell Digital Locker. If you
are unable to download your license key(s), contact Dell Support by going to dell.com/support/softwarecontacts to
locate the regional Dell Support phone number for your product.
You can discover servers in OMIMSSC using a single license file. If a server is discovered in OMIMSSC a license is used. And, if a
server is deleted, a license is released. An entry is made in the activity log of OMIMSSC for the following activities:
● license file is imported
● server is deleted from OMIMSSC and license is relinquished.
● license is consumed after discovering a server.
After you upgrade from an evaluation license to a production license, the evaluation license is overwritten with the production
license. The Licensed Nodes count is equal to the number of production licenses purchased.

Supported options for license feature
Following are the options supported for license feature in OMIMSSC
Purchase a new license
When you place an order for purchasing a new license, an email is sent from Dell about the order confirmation, and you can
download the new license file from the Dell Digital store. The license is in an .xml format. If the license is in a .zip format, extract
the license .xml file from the .zip file before uploading.
Stack multiple licenses
You can stack multiple production licenses to increase the number of supported servers to the sum of the servers in the
uploaded licenses. An evaluation license cannot be stacked. The number of supported servers cannot be increased by stacking,
and requires the use of multiple OMIMSSC Appliances.
If there are already multiple licenses uploaded, the number of supported servers are the sum of the servers in the licenses at the
time the last license was uploaded.
Replace licenses
If there is a problem with your order, or when you try to upload a modified or corrupt file, an error message is displayed for
the same. You can request for another license file from the Dell Digital Locker. Once you receive a replacement license, the
replacement license contains the same entitlement ID of the previous license. When you upload a replacement license, the
license is replaced if a license was already uploaded with the same entitlement ID.
