About Licensing

The first time you log into ExtremeCloud IQ you are redirected to the Extreme Portal and prompted for your credentials. If you do not have an Extreme Portal account, you must register for one before you can continue.
Note

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.

When you enter your credentials, ExtremeCloud IQ retrieves the license information from your Extreme Portal account and applies it to your ExtremeCloud IQ account.

If you already have an Extreme Portal account, in Global Settings > Administration > License Management, select Link My Extreme Portal Account. Enter your Extreme Portal credentials.

For information about how to manage your licenses, see Manage Licenses.

NAC Entitlements

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 is displayed above the NAC Entitlements table, and is based on the number of NAC subscriptions you have purchased.

The NAC Entitlements table lists the following information about NAC entitlement allocations:
  • Entitled Serial Number: The serial number of the NAC device associated with this entitlement. The device can be running ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine version 21.9 and newer, or ExtremeCloud A3 version 4.0 and newer.
  • Name: The name of the NAC device.
  • Allocataed %: The percentage of the total allocations that will be available to this device. You can modify this number as needed. To confirm and save your changes, click Save.
  • Allocated Entitlements: The maximum number of entitlements that can be used by this device.

Legacy Entitlements

The information displayed in this table depends on whether you have entered an evaluation or permanent entitlement key. If you have entered an evaluation key, the number of days remaining until the entitlement key expires and the number of devices licensed are displayed at the top of the window. If you have entered a permanent key, only the number of licensed devices is displayed.

You can use unused entitlements in addition to any active licenses. For more information, see, Manage Licenses.

The Legacy Entitlements table displays the following information:
  • Current State: Can be active or expired. Use the drop-down list above the column to filter these values.
  • Evaluation Period: For evaluation licenses, the number of days remaining in the evaluation period displays here. For permanent licenses, N/A displays.
  • Entitlement Key: The 30-character string that you received from Sales or Support. To remove or deactivate a key, select the check box for it and then select Remove/Deactivate. If you deactivate an active key, you can add it back later.
  • Type: The license type can be evaluation or permanent.
  • Devices: The number of devices the entitlement key supports. The total number of devices you can manage is the sum of all the numbers associated with active keys.
  • Subscription Start and End Dates: The start and end dates for this entitlement key. These columns can be sorted. The date reflects the time zone setting in your browser.
  • Support End Date: The date on which the support contract expires. This column can be sorted. The date reflects the time zone setting in your browser.
