You will need to install a license if:

  • Reboot iRMC if prompted (usually not required for S4).

    • If you are automating deployment or the Web GUI is crashing, use the CLI. The iRMC S4 runs a Linux-based shell accessible via SSH or the local serial console.

  • Upload license file using SCP/SFTP to a temporary directory on the iRMC (if supported) or paste activation code.
  • Run install command and confirm.
  • Verify with show license or equivalent command.

    • Example (illustrative):

    scp license_file.lic admin@<iRMC_IP>:/tmp
ssh admin@<iRMC_IP>
licensemgr install /tmp/license_file.lic
licensemgr list

    (Commands vary; consult iRMC command reference for exact CLI syntax.)

    Type the following commands (press Enter after each):

    cd /map1
show licenses

    Note: map1 is the Management Access Point 1 (the main iRMC controller).

    This command shows currently installed licenses.

    Press [F10] to save changes and reboot. The license is now stored in non-volatile memory on the iRMC chip.
