License types

The following license types are supported in SLX-OS:

• Permanent licenses - A permanent license has no expiration date and is locked to a single switch or interface module identified by the switch or interface module license ID.
• Self Authenticated Upgrade (SAU) licenses - This license enables the advanced licensed feature set prior to purchasing a license. The SAU license does not require an activation process. You do not need to install a physical license on the SLX-OS platform to use the licensed feature set. You must accept the End-User License Agreement (EULA) through the CLI commands before the system can support the licensed capabilities. Once you accept the EULA, you can configure and begin using the feature on the device. The EULA requires a license to be purchased within 30 days of accepting the license EULA statement through the CLI. The fulfillment e-mail is issued through Extreme once you have paid for the SAU license. The CoE document certifies that you have paid for the license to use the feature on for a specific platform.
