Have a number of servers which some have iDrac installed and other's do not. All servers are over or close to being 7 years old. Eventually, if possible, I would like to have them all working with the console. To start, what would I need to license the servers with iDRAC installed, then for the others, I would need to purchase and license the iDrac. This is the information for one of the servers;

Hello
The iDRAC licensing model was introduced with the iDRAC7. The iDRAC6 functionality and feature availability is purely dependent on the physical hardware installed. iDRAC7 and later has the necessary hardware already in the system and features are activated based on the license installed in the system. Optional hardware can be installed in most cases to add a dedicated port for an iDRAC enterprise.
Here is an iDRAC FAQ. It has several links in it that answer all of your questions:

Appears they are iDrac 7's since when I signed in to the controller, the message states that the feature requires an iDRAC Enterprise License.
