Software Installation or Upgrade Overview
EPICenter Release Note

NOTE
A Base license is required to run EPICenter. Installing an Upgrade license (Silver or Gold) without a Base license
does not provide access to the EPICenter Server.
If you have purchased the product, you should have received an activation key, found on the License
Agreement that accompanies your software package. This key starts with “AC,” and can be used to
obtain a permanent license key. You do not need an activation key to obtain an evaluation license key.
The license levels are on the number of devices managed by EPICenter:
● The Bronze level allows you to manage up to 20 devices
● The Silver level allows you to manage up to 250 devices
● The Gold level allows you to manage up to 2,000 devices
The Silver license can be installed as either a base license in a new EPICenter installation, or as an
upgrade license in an EPICenter installation where the Bronze license is already installed. The Gold
license can be installed as an upgrade license in an EPICenter installation where the Silver license
(either base or upgrade level) is already installed.
Software Installation or Upgrade Overview
The EPICenter Installation and Upgrade Guide contains complete instructions for installing the EPICenter
Management Suite under Windows, Linux, and Solaris.
The EPICenter Installation and Upgrade Guide can be found in PDF format on the EPICenter product CD,
on the Extreme Networks EPICenter download web site, or on the Extreme Networks documentation
page.
Obtaining a License
EPICenter requires a valid base or evaluation license to be installed before you can log into the
EPICenter Server through an EPICenter client. Optional upgrades such as the Gold Upgrade also
require their own license keys. To obtain a license key, use your browser to connect to the license page
at
http://www.extremenetworks.com/go/epickey.htm.
To obtain an evaluation license, select the option to obtain an evaluation license key. You will be asked
to enter your name, company information, and other similar information, and an e-mail address to
which your license key should be sent. Your license key will be sent to you by return e-mail.
To obtain a permanent license, select the option to obtain a permanent license key. Fill in the requested
information, and enter your activation key. The activation key is a 14-character key that starts with
“AC” and is found on the License Agreement included with your software package.
Your permanent license key will be sent to you by return e-mail. See the EPICenter Installation and Upgrade
Guide for instructions on running the License Manager to install your license(s).
