Buy iDRAC and OpenManage licenses

iDRAC licenses, per server

Enterprise unlocks the graphical console and virtual media for remote OS installs. Datacenter adds power and thermal telemetry and deeper automation. The tier must match your server generation.

OpenManage Enterprise, per node

Fleet management on top of iDRAC: configuration profiles, firmware baselines and one-to-many updates across every PowerEdge from one console.

Buying an iDRAC license

What is an iDRAC license and do I need one?

iDRAC is the out-of-band controller built into every Dell PowerEdge server. The Enterprise license unlocks the graphical Virtual Console (KVM) and Virtual Media — the features that let you install or repair the operating system remotely. If you manage servers you can’t physically reach, you need it.

iDRAC Enterprise vs Datacenter?

Enterprise = remote console, virtual media, directory integration and automation (what most buyers need). Datacenter = Enterprise plus advanced power/thermal telemetry, serial-over-LAN and the deepest fleet automation.

Which iDRAC generation do I buy?

The generation is fixed by your server: iDRAC7 (12G, R620/R720), iDRAC8 (13G, R630/R730), iDRAC9 (14G–16G, R640/R650/R660/R760), iDRAC10 (17G, R670/R770). Licenses are not cross-compatible between generations.

How is the license delivered?

Digitally, tied to your server’s Service Tag. Send us the Service Tag with your order and we return the license entitlement — usually the same business day.
