Ridgeline SA Software Licensing
Ridgeline Service Advisor Release Note 19
Table 5 provides a summary of Ridgeline SA’s basic support for non-Extreme devices.
SSH Support
Ridgeline SA supports the use of SSH for communication with Extreme Networks devices if the
following conditions are met:
● The SSH Enabling Module must be installed on the Ridgeline SA server host. Due to export
restrictions, you must obtain this module from Extreme Networks. It is not included with the
Ridgeline SA software distribution.
● Your switches must be running versions of ExtremeWare or ExtremeXOS that support SSH, and SSH
must be enabled on those devices. Due to export restrictions, a special license is required for the SSH
versions of the switch software. To request SSH-enabled versions of the software, contact Extreme
Networks Technical Support.
More information about obtaining and installing these modules can be found in the Ridgeline SA
Installation and Upgrade Guide. SSH is not supported for third-party devices.
Ridgeline SA Software Licensing
To log in to the Ridgeline SA Server from a Ridgeline SA Client, Ridgeline SA must be configured with
a valid license. You can install the software without a license key, but you cannot connect to it from a
Ridgeline SA Client.
● An evaluation license allows you to run the product on a temporary basis and manage a network of
up to 2000 nodes. If you want to continue using the product beyond the evaluation period, you must
obtain a permanent license.
● A permanent license has no time limit. Permanent licenses are sold based on the number of devices
to be managed by the Ridgeline SA system. When you purchase Ridgeline SA, you receive a Base 20
node license, which allows you to manage up to 20 devices. If you want to manage more devices,
you can obtain additional 50-node and 250-node licenses from Extreme Networks.
