Viewing Licenses
1 | From the SD-WAN Orchestrator main menu, select the Administration -> Licenses function to view the assigned licenses. |
The following image example shows the number of licenses that have been assigned to two customers, 'Cust02_SDWAN' and 'Cust06_SDWAN'. They may be filtered by Type and Status (running, not running, elapsed). Simply click any filter button.
The Search field also enables you to find any license through its other data (Owner). Click the button to delete the Search filters.
When the window contains a significant number of licenses, the navigation functions at the bottom of the window enable you to navigate through the list.
• | By default, one page includes 50 rows. 20 and 100 are the other options. |
• | The total number of pages is specified. This number changes if you select a different number of rows per page. |
• | You can display a particular page by directly selecting it from the stack or by clicking the and buttons to move from one page forward and backward. |
• | Click to view the first page and to view the last page of the list. |
For a description of columns, refer to "The Licensing Model".
2 | Click the Summary button to display a quick overview of the running (started) licenses during the current month. They can have the following Status values: |
• | Used: licenses used by an appliance |

The licensing model covers the resources used by a Customer, including both Hardware (appliances) and Software capabilities (services). A license has a start date (month/year), a duration in months with a value ranging from [1-72] and a type. The start date of the license triggers license use.
There are three categories of license packages:
• | Enterprise Package |
• | Add-On Package for HA |
• | Optional Add-On Package |
Enterprise Package Licenses
These licenses are the main licenses for accessing the ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Orchestrator. They only differ by the maximum bandwidth that can be reached by each appliance. For example, if an appliance has a total bandwidth of 125 Mbps, it must be paired with an Ent-Branch-M license or any higher license.
Note: There is one license per SD-WAN appliance.
Enterprise Package License |
Maximum Bandwidth |
---|---|
Ent-Branch-XS |
50 Mbps |
Ent-Branch-S |
100 Mbps |
Ent-Branch-M |
250 Mbps |
Ent-DC-S |
500 Mbps |
Ent-DC-M |
1 Gbps |
Ent-DC-L |
2 Gbps |
Warning: RVC destination sites do not use these licenses. Refer to the table of Domain Level licenses below.
Add-On Package for HA Licenses
These licenses are paired with HA appliances. An appliance needs HA if it uses VRRP or has the same virtual IP address as another appliance on the same Site.
HA License |
Maximum Bandwidth |
---|---|
Ent-HA-Branch-XS |
50 Mbps |
Ent-HA-Branch-S |
100 Mbps |
Ent-HA-Branch-M |
250 Mbps |
Ent-HA-DC-S |
500 Mbps |
Ent-HA-DC-M |
1 Gbps |
Ent-HA-DC-L |
2 Gbps |
Optional Add-On Packages
For WAN Optimization Licenses
WANopt License |
Description |
---|---|
Ent-WANopt-Branch |
WAN Optimization activation license for a Branch Site. This Site already has an Ent-Branch-* license. |
Ent-WANopt-DC |
WAN Optimization activation license for a Data Center Site. This Site already has an Ent-DC-* license. |
For Licenses at the Domain Level (Services)
License |
Description |
---|---|
Ent-Remote-V_and_C-5 |
For 5 RVC destinations, stackable. There must exist as many licenses as the total number of RVC destinations divided by 5. |
Ent-EnhancedReporting-5 |
Full reporting (13 months) for 5 Sites, stackable. There must exist as many licenses as the total number of Enterprise (non HA) appliances divided by 5 (RVC destinations are not included). |
Ent-EdgeSentry-10 |
The number of licenses must correspond to the summed bandwidth divided by 10 of all the appliances using the EdgeSentry feature. For example, if for 5 appliances, the sum of their bandwidths is 420 Mbps (10 + 30 + 30 + 100 + 250), then 42 licenses are necessary. |
License Checking
License checking is executed every month or after a configuration modification, or after a license has been added, modified or deleted by Extreme Networks and is based on your current stock of running licenses.
License Breach Notification
When a license breach is detected, e-mail messages are regularly sent to your administrator and to Extreme Networks until the breach is resolved.
