Upgrade License—a license that adds AP capacity to your controller. Note that Upgrade Licenses do not support an evaluation license.

Working with Licenses

Each license refers to specific functionality (or module) that supports unique features.

The licenses are:

Base OS—base operating functions including VPN and VIA clients.

AP Capacity —capacity license for RAP indoor and outdoor Mesh APs. Campus, Remote, or Mesh APs can terminate on the controller without the need for a separate license.

Advanced Cryptography (ACR)—this is required for the Suite B Cryptography in IPsec and 802.11 modes. License enforcement behavior controls the total number of concurrent connections (IPsec or 802.11) using Suite B Cryptography. Bundled with this license are the xSec license features.

Policy Enforcement Firewall Virtual Private Network (PEFV)—enables Policy Enforcement Firewall for VIA clients. This is a controller license.

Policy Enforcement Firewall Next Generation (PEFNG)—Wired, WLAN Licensed per AP numbers including user roles, access rights, Layers 4 through 7 traffic control, per-service prioritization/QoS, authentication/accounting APIs, External Service Interfaces (ESI), Voice and Video. This is an AP count license.

Public Access—reserved for future use.

RFprotect—Wireless Intrusion Protection (WIPS) and Spectrum Analysis. This is an AP count license.

xSec (Extreme Security) for Federal—Layer 2 VPN for wired or wireless using FIPS-approved algorithms.

Internal Test Functions—for internal use only.

The license categories are:

Permanent license—This type of license permanently enables the desired software module on a specific Dell controller. You obtain permanent licenses through the sales order process only. Permanent software license keys are sent to you via email.

Evaluation license—This type of license allows you to evaluate the unrestricted functionality of a software module on a specific controller for 90 days (in three 30-day increments).

An expired evaluation license will remain in the license database until the controller is reset using the command write erase all where all license keys are removed. An expired evaluation license has no impact on the normal operation of the controller. It is kept in the license database to prevent abuse.

NOTE: When license keys are applied on a controller, abnormal tampering of the device’s system clock (setting the system clock back) results in the disabling of software licensed modules and their supported features. This can affect network services.

To determine your time remaining on an evaluation license, a banner is displayed when you log in through the command line:

NOTICE

NOTICE -- This switch has active licenses that will expire in 29 days

NOTICE

NOTICE -- See 'show license' for details.

NOTICE

From the WebUI, an “Alert” appears with information regarding the evaluation license status (see Figure 25).
