While the base software included with each switch supports most switch features, certain features require a Premier license. Feature requirements for a Premier license are platform- and network operating system-specific. For details and ordering information, see the switch datasheets.
Universal Switches running Switch Engine or Fabric Engine might require a Premier license to enable advanced features or a higher feature tier. A Premier license is available as either a perpetual license, or included as part of an Extreme Platform ONE Standard Networking subscription license.
You can push a Perpetual Premier License to the switch using the ExtremeCloud IQ GUI, or install it manually using a license file generated by the Extreme Portal: https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrLogin.
For switches managed by ExtremeCloud IQ, Extreme Platform ONE, or ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine with a Pilot or Extreme Platform ONE license used by the switches, the management application receives notification of the license application and enables the use of Premier switch features for the duration of the subscription. The switches must be 5xxx or 7xxxx series. See the switch documentation for the minimum firmware versions.
Note
Although Extreme Platform ONE licenses include Premier features, the management application displays Premier perpetual licenses only if an actual Premier license exists on the switch. If only a Pilot or Extreme Platform ONE license exists, the management application displays only the subscription license level.
