License Management

The Lenovo XClarity Controller License Management allows you to install and manage optional server and systems management features.

There are multiple levels of XClarity Controller firmware functionality and features available for your server. The level of the firmware features installed on your server vary based on hardware type.

You can upgrade the XClarity Controller functionality by purchasing and installing an activation key.

To order an activation key, contact your sales representative or business partner.

Use the XClarity Controller web interface or the XClarity Controller CLI to manually install an activation key that lets you use an optional feature you have purchased. Before activating a key:

  • The activation key must be on the system that you are using to login to the XClarity Controller.
  • You must have ordered the license key and received its authorization code via mail or email.

See Installing an activation key, Removing an activation key or Exporting an activation key for information about managing an activation key using the XClarity Controller web interface. See keycfg command for information about managing an activation key using the XClarity Controller CLI.
