Adding Or Upgrading A License Key - Extreme Networks Ridgeline Installation Manual

Adding or Upgrading a License Key

To install an evaluation or permanent license for Ridgeline, or to upgrade an evaluation license to a
permanent license you must run the License Manager. Until you install a license, no client will be able
to connect to the Ridgeline server.
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, do the following:
1 Run the License Manager:
In Windows, from the Start menu, select Start > Programs > Extreme Networks > Ridgeline 3.0
●
> License Manager
In Linux or Solaris, go to the Ridgeline installation directory (by default
●
/opt/ExtremeNetworks/RidgelineServiceAdvisor3.0)
You must have write permission for the Ridgeline installation directory.
In Linux, the License Manager is also available in the Startup menu. Select Others > License
Manager
In Solaris, the License Manager is also available in Administrative Tools. Select Administrative
Tools > Extreme Networks > Ridgeline > License Manager
The License Manager window opens:
