buying iLO5 for HP Proliant ML110 G10

Hi,
I am thinking about buying a new HP ML110 G10 with iLO 5 activated and like to know how to go about buying iLO 5.
Is this a piece of chip (or hardware) that I need to purchase separately or it is intergrated inside the server?
Do I have to buy license initially and renew it annually or it is one time purchase?
I saw the demo on youtube and like the fact that you can Manage and monitor servers from anywhere.
HP Part number is 512485-B21, but the price is all over the place and don't know what/where I need to buy.
AMASON: $70.00
NewEgg: $99.00
Provantage  $257.92
CDW  $303.99
serversupply: $310

@Andrew,
 
" You can purchase off ebay for $19!" ---> I even see one on ebay as log as $5.87.
So these licences will work on any HP Proliant Servers with iLO chip intergrated?
Correct. Check with Seller that the Key is for iLo5...

there are different versions keys for earlier versions of iLo.

Once I get the license, what is the process of activating it?
Login to iLo via Web Browser, and add the License Key you have to where it states enter key!

iLo port must be plugged in, by default it obtains an IP address via DHCP.

or configure Static IP, at POST

Thanks.
Bear in mind that this is the advanced license, you still get basic iLO functionality without it.
