When searching for a "New" iRMC S4 license, you are typically looking at the Advanced SKU. It is important to note that Fujitsu has moved away from complex tiered licenses (like S1, S2, S3) for modern hardware to a more streamlined approach.
Fujitsu iRMC (Integrated Remote Management Controller) S4 has two main license tiers:
| Feature | iRMC S4 Basic (built-in) | iRMC S4 Advanced (paid license) | |--------|--------------------------|--------------------------------| | KVM (remote console) | ❌ | ✅ | | Virtual Media (ISO/floppy) | ❌ | ✅ | | Remote Power Control | ✅ | ✅ | | IPMI 2.0 | ✅ | ✅ | | Graphical Web Interface | Limited | Full | | Power Monitoring/History | ✅ | ✅ (more detail) | | Boot Capture/Video Recording | ❌ | ✅ | | LDAP/Active Directory auth | ❌ | ✅ |
Important: The license is bound to the server chassis (system board serial number). You cannot transfer it to another server.
If you buy a new iRMC S4 license key today, you are entitled to firmware updates for that server. Always update to the latest iRMC firmware (available free from the Fujitsu Support Portal) before entering your license key.
Pro Tip: Never update iRMC firmware over a WAN link. Use a local network. A dropped update can corrupt the license storage area.
