Figure 7. Checking License Level

The iDRAC7 Enterprise license level supports all the iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller features. If the system shows the

license level as Basic Management or Express, certain features are not available. For information on the list of

licensable features based on the license level, see the

iDRAC7 User's Guide

available at dell.com/support/manuals.

You can upgrade the license level from Basic Management to Express, Basic Management to Enterprise, or from

Express to Enterprise.

If you purchased a license with the server, you can retrieve it. To do this, go to Overview → Server → Licenses and

click the License Self-Service Portal link. Otherwise, contact your Dell sales representative to purchase an upgrade

license. The license is sent to you as an XML file.

privileges available.
