How hard is it to get the right software?

Ok - here's what I hope is an immediate workaround to your license issues. Go download the bits from here and get the 60 day evaluation license. That will get you working and give you breathing room to figure out what's up with the license.
Log in with your HPE Passport to download the eval license and note the download for the installation instructions.
In the Server quickspecs the DL380p G8 are available here. In that document, you're looking for the Advanced iLO license. Note there are different SKUs for the licenses so pick the one that you need. Here's what is on that page:
So I think the one you want is BG505A (I think you're in the US, right?). If I understand, you'll get an email with the license key.

Folks
Sorry you had to run around to get the right license. I agree with @HPEStorageGuy suggestion on using BD505A, use this if you need a paper license. If an Electronic license is ok please E6U59ABE, this is available in the US as well. I am working on getting the Quickspecs corrected as well as the iLO webpage will be updated to indicate the servers that are supported for a specific license.
If you have any questions related to iLO please don't hesitate to contact me @ [email protected]

@iLOguy Nice to hear that someone is correcting the docs, don't always see that happening.

Agreed, though I have to admit, the page wasn't wrong, just obscured.

Welcome @iLOguy. Do you work for HPE?
*edit - I see Scott says you do in the new guy thread.

Our process to update stuff is a PITA but we do fix errors when we have them. Just might take a while. One of the downsides of being a huge company.

OK heard from my vendor.
They agree that the HPE website saying that iLo Essentials only supports DL380 e-series is kinda hidden and are going to see about refunding me that license.
As for the Insight Manager iLo license, they claim that it is what I need at the best price. That this license alone will allow me to run Insight Manager, and use iLo Advanced features all inclusive in this license, which seems odd as it's a less expensive license than just iLo Advanced by itself.
I'm currently downloading Insight Manger - I guess we'll see what I see.
Though I only have one server currently that I need/want to manage - running Insight Manger is overkill for one server. And, where am I suppose to run Insight Manager?
more digging.
