Chapter 10: Licensing
The following sections provide information on the Licensing features, activation, and installation on
the switch.
Licensing fundamentals
This section provides conceptual information about feature licensing for the switch. Review this
section before you make changes to the license configuration.
Feature licensing
This product uses the Product Licensing and Delivery System (PLDS) as the license order, delivery
and management tool. PLDS provides self-service license activations, upgrades, moves or changes.
The switch supports a Premier License for Layer 3 VSNs and MACsec features. There are two
types of Premier Licenses:
• Support for Layer 3 VSNs only
• Support for Layer 3 VSNs and MACsec
All other features are not licensed.
For customers that would like to trial premier features prior to purchasing a Premier License, there
are two types of PLDS Premier trial licenses that will permit use of premier features for a 60 day
period:
• Support for Layer 3 VSNs only
• Support for Layer 3 VSNs and MACsec
The PLDS Premier Trial License is generated using the system MAC address of a switch and can
only be generated and used once for a given MAC address. After the expiry of the 60 day trial
period, you will see messages on the console and in the alarms database that the license has
expired. If you restart the system after the license expiration, the Premier features will not be loaded
even if they are in the saved configuration. If you purchase a Premier License, you must obtain and
install a license file. For more information about how to generate a license file, see Getting Started
with Avaya PLDS for Avaya Networking Products, NN46199-300; All licensing activities are
performed through the Avaya PLDS Portal at
