Licensing for Dell Server Management Pack
Suite
License Information
Agent-free monitoring feature in Dell Server Management Pack Suite for OpsMgr is licensed. Information on the process for
obtaining software licenses is as follows.
Licenses
Licenses are available as tiered bundles of 1, 50, 200, and Unlimited node(s). One node license is available for evaluation
purposes at no additional charge. You are required to purchase at least one license per OpsMgr Management group.
For more information on licensing, go to Dell TechCenter website and then OpenManage Integration Suite for Microsoft
System Center wiki page.
Purchasing Licenses
To leverage the Agent-free monitoring feature functionalities, you must first purchase the appropriate License Key SKU (based
on the desired number of managed nodes). You can purchase licenses from Dell Sales. The order confirmation and license is sent
as an email to the email ID that you have specified in My Account — Dell. The purchased licenses are also downloadable from
the Dell Online Licensing portal — dell.com/support/licensing.
Checking License Usage
A Console requires a license to manage PowerEdge servers. To view the PowerEdge servers managed by Agent-free monitoring
feature for OpsMgr: In OpsMgr, select Monitoring > Dell > Feature Management Dashboard
The number of nodes consumed is displayed in the Total Node Count column.
When the number of PowerEdge servers increase in a data center, you can purchase the appropriate license bundle.
Change from Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.0 for OpsMgr
Until Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.0 for OpsMgr; Dell Connections License Manager (DCLM) was required to
manage licenses. For Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.1 and later, you do not require DCLM.
There is no longer a license-count enforcement due to DCLM being removed. You can continue to manage the Dell PowerEdge
servers using Agent-free monitoring feature for OpsMgr even after reaching or exceeding the limit of the number of licenses
purchased from Dell. The Checking License Usage section presents the steps to help you determine the number of nodes being
managed to ensure that you have the appropriate number of license entitlements from Dell Inc. Purchase additional licenses if
the number of nodes you are managing exceed the number of licenses you have purchased.
Licenses that you have purchased for Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.0 for OpsMgr are still applicable to Dell
Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.1 and later for OpsMgr. So, after a product upgrade, the earlier license is still valid and
you can still manage servers per the permissible count mentioned in the previously purchased license.
License terms and conditions
The licenses are also governed by the same license terms as the product EULA. You can get the latest updated license terms
at dell.com/learn/us/en/uscorp1/terms?s=corp. For further queries, contact Dell Sales and Support.
