Note
If you are partner, distributor, or reseller, and are setting up an account for a customer, you can create the account and then instruct the customer to log into their new ExtremeCloud IQ instance and proceed through the licensing prompts.After you enter your credentials, ExtremeCloud IQ retrieves the license information from your Extreme Portal account and applies it to your ExtremeCloud IQ account. See Manage Licenses.
Note
The terms Licenses and Entitlements appear throughout the ExtremeCloud IQ interface. These terms are interchangeable. For clarity, this document uses license, licenses, and licensing in all cases, unless the term Entitlement is part of a product name or label in the user interface.
Note
ExtremeCloud IQ sends aggregated information for each license type to ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine.ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine displays a table listing the licenses purchased: XIQ-PIL-S-C, XIQ-NAV-S-C, and XIQ-NAC-S licenses. A single line displays the Contract Start Date, Contract End Date, and Feature. The Quantity is the total number of licenses purchased of that type, similar to what ExtremeCloud IQ displays.
Network Access Control (NAC) uses a set of protocols to secure devices when they first try to access the network. The 802.1X standard is a basic form of NAC.
Universal NAC licenses are available for ExtremeCloud A3 and ExtremeControl.
NAC controls access using pre-admission endpoint security checks and post-admission controls over access levels and permissions that devices exercise in the network.
The total number of NAC entitlements available appears above the NAC Entitlements table, and is based on the number of NAC subscriptions you have purchased.
Note
An MSP operator can define Total NAC Entitlements for the VIQ. If defined, the system uses the defined value rather than the number of NAC subscriptions that you see in the license pool.

The information that this table displays depends on whether you entered an evaluation or permanent entitlement key.
