A subscription license can be ordered pre-installed in a XCO system when first shipped from the factory, or later ordered and installed by the customer. In either case, additional licenses can be ordered as needed.
When a license is ordered separately (not pre-installed), a fulfillment email message, along with a Voucher ID (VID), is issued to you by Extreme Networks as proof of purchase. The VID and Locking ID (LID) of the XCO system are used to generate a license key from the Extreme Portal. The license key is contained within a license file , which can be uploaded to the switch. You can add the license key to a switch using the license add command, or the license add FTP-URL ftpPath | SCP-URL scpPath] command.
