Note:
When you add the virtual engine to Extreme Management Center, you will be
asked to supply a virtual ExtremeControl engine license number. (When you
purchased your engine, you received a Licensed Product Entitlement ID. This
Entitlement ID allows you to generate a product license. Refer to the instructions
included with the Entitlement ID that was sent to you.)
Unlicensed virtual ExtremeControl engines will appear with an orange arrow
icon in Extreme Management Center, and cannot be enforced. You can view the
engine license status in the Administration > Diagnostics > Server > Server
Licenses tab in Extreme Management Center.
