Specify Which License Key to Assign to a Server in OneView

[CSKA]

Hello,

I’m using an HPE OneView instance to manage multiple DL rack servers, which are delivered in waves. Each server comes with a license tied to a specific EON number. However, OneView handles all licenses as a shared pool and automatically assigns them on a first-come, first-served basis. This makes it impossible to associate a specific license with its corresponding server.

For example, in wave 1 I received 3 servers, and in wave 2, another 5 of the same model. Due to logistical delays, some servers from wave 1 arrived after wave 2, resulting in licenses being mismatched between the intended hardware.

I’ve explored the REST API and PowerShell modules but couldn’t find any option to specify or control license assignment at the time of server addition — only license utilization reports are available.

Is there a supported method to explicitly assign a specific license to a specific server in OneView, or any recommended best practice to handle this scenario,, or any plans to implement it in a future?

Best regards,
