Subscription License
Subscription licensing is available for Extreme Campus Controller for both access point and switch
management. Upon purchase of a new Extreme Campus Controller you will receive a welcome email
and activation instructions.
Each appliance obtains capacity Right to Use (RTU) entitlements regarding managed devices, subject
to the system limits of the appliance instance and the total number of activations purchased. The total
consumed RTU across all Extreme Campus Controller instances cannot exceed the number of RTU you
have subscribed to. Each appliance provides visualization on specific RTU allocation and overall balance.
For subscription management, Extreme Campus Controller requires a configured DNS server and
constant connection to the Internet in order to be operational.
Note
Extreme Campus Controller must access the License Server (cloud-based service).
The controller's DNS server configuration must facilitate resolution of the URL: https://
prod.extreme.sentinelcloud.com/productConnector/. When there is a firewall in place, it must
allow access to that service (HTTPS = TCP 443).
