What are the different types of iDRAC licenses? There are three types of the iDRAC licenses.

Basic Management

Basic Management which was earlier known as BMC, was the default iDRAC version for the 11th generation of the servers ranging between 200– 500 series.

Express

iDRAC Express is the standard, default offering that is part of the base configuration for 600 series and above. It does not require license installation, back up, or license management. Express offers embedded tools, console integration, and simplified remote access.

Express for Blades — For the 12th and 13th generation blade servers, there is a new Express for Blades iDRAC version. It offers a single-user virtual console session and virtual media in addition to the standard Express offerings.
