Licensing for Dell Server Management Pack Suite
License Information
The Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) 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 Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) 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 e-mail to the e-mail 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 Dell PowerEdge servers. To view the Dell PowerEdge servers managed by Server and Rack
Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) 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 Dell 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 post DCLM being removed. You can continue to manage the Dell PowerEdge
servers using Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) 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 exceeds 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.
