Retrieving iLO License Keys from iLO

by on Jun.26, 2020, under Tech Stuff

So, you want record that iLO key that you forgot to write down previously, right?

No problem.

  • Venture to https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/home and search for “HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility” and download the latest version.
  • Once downloaded & installed, you can find it under C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett Packard Enterprise\HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility.
  • Open your choice of text editors and paste the following into the file:
    <RIBCL VERSION=”2.0″>
    <LOGIN USER_LOGIN=”adminname” PASSWORD=”password”>
    <RIB_INFO MODE=”read”>
    <GET_ALL_LICENSES/>
    </RIB_INFO>
    </LOGIN>
    </RIBCL>
  • You can choose to edit the admin name & password here or pass it on the command line (which I will outline shortly). Save the file as ‘getlicenses.xml’ and close the file.
  • From a command prompt, navigate to the installation folder for the HPLOCU and execute the following:
    • .\HPQLOCFG.exe -s ip.of.ilo.srv -l .\logoutput.txt -f .\getlicenses.xml -u Administrator -p AdminPassword
  • You should receive an output similar to this:
