Hello,

Is there any way to retrive/recover lost ilo advanced license key in DL380 G7 server.

Thanks

Your best best would be to contact the HPE Licensing group and see if they could help. Unless you have an Entitlement Order Number (EON) or an HPE Sales Order number, it may be challenging but still worth a shot.

Source this XML Script and run. You should get the following

A possible GET_ALL_LICENSES return message is:

THe XML listed above just shows the license that is installed, no diferent than what would be displayed in the web interface.

To use it you would use the hponcfg program locally on the server, or remotely using the locfg.pl script

The scripting examples are here:
