About this license

Use case

This license is used to add 16 cores to a server that already has a base license. For example, if you have a server with a 16-core processor, you would need two 16-core licenses to fully license the server. This SKU is for the additional cores beyond the base license.

Important notes

• ROK Licensing: ROK licenses are OEM licenses tied to specific hardware and are not transferable to other servers. They are typically pre-installed on Dell servers and are not sold separately.
• No Media/Key: As an OEM license, it does not come with installation media or a product key. The operating system is typically installed using Dell's Lifecycle Controller or other deployment tools.
• Region-Specific: Ensure that the license is valid for your region, as ROK licenses are often region-specific.
