Assign Switch Licenses

The Dashboard displays a notification when there are licenses that have not been assigned to a switch, including 10 Gbps licenses. You can drill down from the dashboard to assign the licenses.

Licenses can only be assigned to switches that do not yet have an associated license. Once a license has been assigned, you cannot transfer the license to a different switch.

To view and assign licenses:

  1. Log in to ExtremeCloud.
    The Dashboard opens. If there are unassigned licenses, a message displays at the top of the Dashboard window.
  2. To assign the vouchers, click the message "Click here to assign them." Alternatively, select Administration > System.
    The General Settings page opens. The Assign Licenses pane only displays if there are unassigned licenses.
  3. From the Assign Licenses list, select Assign for a switch.
    The Assign License dialog opens and displays the licenses that are available to assign to the device.
  4. Select the license check box that you want to assign. You can change your license selection before assigning it, but not afterward. (Assigned switch licenses cannot be transferred to another device.)
  5. After the license voucher is assigned to the switch, reboot the switch.
