What happens if an incorrect Service Tag is set concerning iDRAC licenses?

When an incorrect Service Tag is set, the iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) licenses cannot operate properly. The Service Tag is a unique identifier that links specific hardware components to their associated licenses and entitlements. If the Service Tag does not match the actual hardware, the iDRAC will not be able to verify the licenses tied to that piece of hardware. This misalignment can lead to issues in functionality, such as not being able to access certain features or services that require license validation. Hence, the licenses may remain in a state of confusion and be unable to perform their intended roles, ultimately resulting in improper operation. This reinforces the importance of ensuring that the Service Tag is correctly entered and matches the hardware for the licensing system to function seamlessly.
