Adding or Upgrading License Keys
The License Manager installs new or upgrade Ridgeline license keys. You can run the License Manager
at any time after installing the Ridgeline server. Until you install a license, no client can connect to the
Ridgeline server.
You can run the License Manager to:
•
Install an evaluation or permanent license.
•
Upgrade an evaluation license to a permanent license.
•
Upgrade to control additional devices.
•
Upgrade to add additional Ridgeline features (security, SSH, etc.).
Note
You must install a Base 50 license key even if you have purchased additional 50-node or 250-
node license keys. The Base 50 license gives you access to the Ridgeline server; the optional
upgrade licenses enable you to manage additional devices.
To install or upgrade a license:
1 Run the License Manager:
•
In Windows, click Start > Programs > Extreme Networks > Ridgeline 4.0 > License Manager.
•
In Linux, go to the Ridgeline installation directory and run LicenseManager. By default, the
Ridgeline installation directory is /opt/ExtremeNetworks/RidgelineServiceAdvisor2.0.
On Linux, the License Manager symbolic link is found in /root/ExtremeNetworks/Ridgeline4.0/
License Manager.
