Hi 

If you are using the software for monitoring and firmware update of Rackmount servers, user ILO amplifier. 

This do not require a license. 
If you want to manage C7000 enclosure with Blades and Virtual connect modules, then use Oneview. 
Oneview requires licenses like oneview advanced with ILO and OV advanced without ILO. 

Refer to the quickspecs of both below.
