Settings -> Permissions -> Register License
menu item to open a file browser. Locate the license
file, and click the
Register License
button. Your updated license should be visible in
Settings ->
Permissions -> View Licenses.
NOTE:
If you update your installation from a previous one where you upgraded license, you must also re-
register those licenses.
You must restart application server or wait up to 15 minutes before a license modification takes
effect. OpenManage Network Manager comes with a 10-device license that lets you manage and
monitor up to 10 Dell Powerconnect switches. You can purchase additional licenses through your
sales representative. If you try to discover more than 10 devices, a message appears in Discovery
that says you have exceeded your license, and only the first 10 devices discovered appear in
Resources. To manage a device not in Resources, you must remove a device, then discover only the
device you want to add.
A Note About Performance
These applications are designed to help you manage your network with alacrity. Unfortunately, the
devices they manage or the networks that communicate with those devices are not always as fast as
this software. If discovery takes a long time (it can), often network and device latency is the culprit.
You can also optimize installations to be faster, and limit device queries with filters, but device and
network latency limit how quickly your system can respond.
NOTE:
If you use management systems other than this one, you must perform a device level resync before
performing configuration actions. Best practice is to use a single management tool whenever possible.
