Software license terminology

The following terms are used in this document

• License file - The file produced by the Extreme Portal when the license is generated. The file is uploaded to the device and controls access to a licensed feature or feature set.
• License ID (LID) - The identification number that uniquely identifies the device. The LID is used in conjunction with the VID to generate and download a software license from the Extreme Portal. The software license is tied to the LID of the device for which the license was ordered and generated.
• Licensed feature - Any hardware or software feature or set of features that require a valid software license in order to operate on the device.
• Voucher ID (VID) - This unique key, along with the LID, is used to generate a software license from the Extreme Portal. The Voucher ID is issued by Extreme when a license is purchased. The Voucher ID is delivered through e-mail which is sent to the customer shortly after the order has completed.
