User's Guide

For a subscription license only, Extreme Campus Controller connects once each day with the licensing
server. When necessary, you can manually synchronize Extreme Campus Controller with the licensing
server. You may want to manually synchronize after the following conditions:
• A change in capacity entitlements
• After applying a valid license
• After a failover in an Availability Pair.
To manually synchronize:
1. Go to Administration > License > License Details.
2. Select Synchronize Now.
Note
Connection Issue (Subscription Licensing Only) — In the event that the Extreme Campus
Controller cannot connect to the licensing server after you have installed and Activation
Package for a subscription license, Extreme Campus Controller gives you three days to rectify
the connection issue. If the controller cannot reach the licensing server in three days, on the
fourth day, the controller goes into a Violation State for seven days. If the connection to the
licensing server cannot be restored within the full 10-day period, the controller goes into
Lockdown state.

State of Entitlements
Extreme Campus Controller checks the state of entitlements assigned in use for the appliance. The
System Health Check uses the end-date of entitlement and displays the following banners in the user
interface:
• Green banner — All assigned entitlements expire in more than 90 days.
• Yellow banner — Some assigned entitlements expire in less than 90 days.
• Red banner — Some assigned entitlements expire in less than 30 days.

Licensing an Availability Pair
In an Availability Pair, Right to Use (RTU) for APs and switches are shared in a common pool by both
primary and backup controllers. When both Extreme Campus Controller are operational and the tunnel
is up, the primary controller checks the licensing server for APs on both controllers. When the primary
Extreme Campus Controller is down, the backup controller checks with the licensing server for APs. The
backup controller will be synchronized upon the next automatic sync with the licensing server. You can
also manually sync with the licensing server. Select Synchronize Now.
Note
The Deployment ID for controllers in a High Availability pair is the Locking ID of the primary
Extreme Campus Controller.
