Table 21: Sharable Licenses vs Controller-Specific Licenses
Evaluation vs Permanent Licenses
Each license can be either an evaluation or permanent license. A permanent license permanently enables the
desired software module on a specific Dell controller. You obtain permanent licenses through the sales order
process only. Permanent software license keys are sent to you via email. An evaluation license allows you to
evaluate the unrestricted functionality of a software module on a specific controller for 90 days (in three 30-
day increments). An expired evaluation license will remain in the license database until the controller is reset
using the command write erase all where all license keys are removed. An expired evaluation license has no
impact on the normal operation of the controller, but it is kept in the license database to prevent abuse.
Evaluation licenses can be added on the services controller and made sharable within a licensing pool. When a
sharable evaluation license is locally installed on a client controller, those license limits will be sent to the
licensing server and added to the license pool as long as the evaluation period is active. When the evaluation
period expires, the client with the expired license sends its revised limits to the license server. The licensing
server removes the evaluation licenses from its license table, then sends updated license pool information to
other clients on the network.
To determine your remaining time on an evaluation license, select the Alert flag (
)in the WebUI title bar. The
WebUI displays information about evaluation license status.
When an evaluation period expires:
n The controller automatically backs up the startup configuration and reboots itself at midnight (according
to the system clock).
n All permanent licenses are unaffected. The expired evaluation licensed feature is no longer available and
is displayed as Expired in the WebUI.
Controller License Capacity
The controller licenses are variable-capacity (see Table 22).
In Table 22, the total AP count is a combination of Campus AP count and Remote AP count.
