Windows Admin Center Licensing
This section provides licensing guidance for OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center (OMIMSWAC).
Overview
Installing and using OMIMSWAC Base version does not require any license and can be downloaded from the NuGet feed of Microsoft
Windows Admin Center or Dell support site. The Base version provides basic management and monitoring for Dell EMC PowerEdge
Servers, and Azure Stack HCI AX node and Storage Spaces Direct Ready Nodes. However, to use some of the premium features, such as
Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU)—updating the firmware, BIOS, Drivers, and the applications that are installed in a cluster—you must
install the OMIMSWAC license on target nodes.
Platforms supported: The premium features are supported for the following platforms:
• YX4X models of Dell EMC PowerEdge server and above with iDRAC firmware 4.00.00.00 or newer.
• Dell EMC Solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI with iDRAC firmware 4.00.00.00 or newer.
NOTE: The OMIMSWAC license is not required to update individual target node.
Purchase OMIMSWAC license

of Sale (APOS) by contacting Dell sales representatives. The OMIMSWAC license is bundled as part of the server license if purchased

about importing license manually, see iDRAC documentation.
