Download OS10 image and license
OS10 Enterprise Edition may come factory-loaded and is available for download from the Dell Digital Locker (DDL). A factory-
loaded OS10 image includes a perpetual license. An OS10 image that you download has a 120-day trial license and requires a
perpetual license to run beyond the trial period. For more information, see the Setup Guide shipped with your device and the
following FAQs:

Download an OS10 image and license to:
● Re-install the license on a Dell EMC ONIE switch with a factory-installed OS10 image and license.
● Install OS10 on a Dell EMC ONIE switch without an OS or license installed:

○ A replacement device received from Dell EMC return material authorization (RMA)

Your OS10 purchase allows you to download software images posted within the first 90 days of ownership. To extend the
software entitlement, you must have a Dell EMC ProSupport or ProSupport Plus contract on your hardware.
Re-install license on factory-loaded OS10
OS10 Enterprise Edition runs with a perpetual license on a device with OS10 factory-loaded. The license file is installed on the
switch. If the license becomes corrupted or wiped out, you must download the license from DDL under the purchaser's account
and re-install it.
1. Sign in to DDL using your account credentials.
2. Locate the hardware product name with the entitlement ID and order number.
3. Check that the device service tag displays in the Assigned To: field on the Products page.
4. Click Key Available for Download.
5. Select how to receive the license key — by email or downloaded to your local device.
6. Click Submit.
7. Save the License.zip file and follow the instructions in Install license to install the license.
Download OS10 for a switch without OS installed
You can purchase the OS10 Enterprise Edition image with an after point-of-sale (APOS) order for a Dell EMC ONIE-enabled
device that does not have a default OS or license installed. After the order is complete, you receive an email notification with a
software entitlement ID, order number, and link to the DDL.
To extend the entitled download period, bind the software entitlement to the switch service tag to be the same time as the
support contract. By default, OS10 software entitlement allows you to download OS10 software images posted before the
purchase date and within 90 days of the date.
1. Sign into DDL using your account credentials.
2. Locate your entitlement ID and order number sent by email, then select the product name.
3. On the Product page, the Assigned To: field on the Product tab is blank. Click Key Available for Download.
4. Enter the device service tag you purchased the OS10 Enterprise Edition for in the Bind to: and Re-enter ID: fields.
This step binds the software entitlement to the service tag of the switch.
5. Select how to receive the license key — by email or downloaded to your local device.
6. Click Submit to download the License.zip file.
7. Select the Available Downloads tab.
8. Select the OS10 Enterprise Edition release to download, then click Download.
9. Read the Dell End User License Agreement. Scroll to the end of the agreement, then click Yes, I agree.
10. Select how to download the software files, then click Download Now.
11. After you download the OS10 Enterprise Edition image, unpack the .tar file and store the OS10 binary image on a local server.
