Upgrade ExtremeCloud IQ Controller Contracts

All customers who are upgrading to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller must obtain a new Activation Key.

For customers on active subscription contracts (XCC-ORC-S-EW/PWP), we provide a workflow that automatically converts the existing contract to a new contract based on an ExtremeCloud IQ Navigator license (XIQ-NAV-S-C-EW/PWP).The contract migration workflow is provided by the Extreme Support Portal.

Note

After upgrading your service contract in the Extreme Support Portal, you have 7 days to deploy ExtremeCloud IQ Controller and install the Activation Package.

For subscription customers, the process of converting subscriptions to the new ExtremeCloud IQ Navigator subscription SKUs cancels the term of the previous entitlements. Controllers enabled for subscription management will reflect this state change within 24 hours, and will enter a 7-day grace period. To ensure service continuance, upgrade to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller version 10.x software within the 7-day grace period.

The migration path from Extreme Campus Controller v5.x to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller v10.x is described as follows:
  • If you have a subscription license for Extreme Campus Controller v5.x, your migration path to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller v10.x subscription is automatic. This will include the ExtremeCloud IQ Navigator license under the same licensing terms.
  • If you have a perpetual license to Extreme Campus Controller v5.x, with a subscription to ExtremeCloud IQ — Site Engine, the AP capacity of the controllers is included in the capacity of the Site Engine migrations, and therefore available upon upgrade.
  • If you have a perpetual license to Extreme Campus Controller v5.x alone, you must contact your Extreme Networks support team to determine your new subscription capacity.

Note

In some cases where a contract has several activations, it may be recommended to map the Locking ID to the Voucher ID. In this case, please contact GTAC to determine if mapping between the Locking ID and Voucher ID is recommended.
There is more than one way to navigate to the Service Contract Upgrade page: Method 1 illustrates how to search for a contract by Adoption Key or Activation Key. Method 2 illustrates how to display a list of your available contracts. Use either navigation path in the Support Portal.

Note

Direct customer account access: Partners may be able to see customer records but may not be able to execute workflows. License migration needs to be performed in the context of the target customer‘s account.
