This document explains the license levels and feature licenses available for non-Universal Hardware switches, and lists the features that they support.
The ExtremeXOS software supports the following license levels for all non-Universal Hardware series switches:
The Value Edge license provides a basic feature set and the Core license includes the highest level of functionality. Each license level builds on the features of the license level below it. For example, the Advanced Edge license includes all of the features in the Edge license, plus the features in the Advance Edge license. The Core license includes all of the features in the Edge license, Advanced Edge license, plus the features in the Core license.
| Switch platform | Value Edge | Edge | Advanced Edge | Core |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ExtremeSwitching X435 | Standard | — | — | — |
| ExtremeSwitching X440-G2 | — | Standard | Upgrade | — |
| ExtremeSwitching X620 | — | Standard | Upgrade | — |
| ExtremeSwitching X450-G2 | — | Standard | Upgrade | Upgrade |
| ExtremeSwitching X460-G2 | — | — | Standard | Upgrade |
| ExtremeSwitching X465 | — | — | Standard | Upgrade |
| ExtremeSwitching X590 | — | — | Standard | Upgrade |

To supplement the license levels, additional capabilities can be added by purchasing feature licenses (see Feature Licenses).
Software licenses are stored in the EEPROM and, after enabled, persist through reboots, software upgrades, power outages, and reconfigurations. The keys are unique to the switch and are not transferable.
If you attempt to execute a command and you either do not have the required license or have reached the limits defined by the current license level, the system displays one of the following messages:
Error: This command cannot be executed at the current license level.
Error: You have reached the maximum limit for this feature at this license level.
