This is normal behavior for all server manufacturers. You get iLO from HPe, iDRAC from Dell and BMC from IBM, all have free modes and licensed modes.

Well then they can all fuck right off, can't they.

Generally you just bake this in when you buy the server. The license is like a hundred bucks for servers that can cost six figures.

Yeah, I never let one out the door sales wise wo/ a enterprise iDRAC. It pays for itself ONCE in man hours lost when you have to drive out to a site at 1am!!!
