Viewing Licenses
| 1 | From the SD-WAN Orchestrator main menu, select the Administration -> Licenses function to view the licenses that were assigned to you by your parent tenant (Reseller Partner). |
Note: According to the defined Customer type, you may or may not access the Appliances and Licenses menus.
The following image shows the number of licenses that have been assigned to you (Customer 'cus26' in this example). They may be filtered by Size, Type and Status; simply click any filter button.
The Search field also enables you to find any license through its other data (Owner). Click the 
button to delete the Search filters.
When the window contains a significant number of licenses, the navigation functions at the bottom of the window enable you to navigate through the list.

The licensing model covers the resources used by a Customer, including both Hardware (appliances) and Software capabilities (services). A license has a start date (month/year), a duration in months, a type and a size. The start date of the license triggers license use.

tele|engine License |

Remote V and C (Visibility and Control) (S or M or L or XL) |
Specific license for tele|engines. The size of this license corresponds to the maximum number of tele|engines that can be covered by this license - S: 5, M: 20, L: 100 and XL: 500). Contrarily to physical ip|engines, tele|engine bandwidth configuration is not taken into account. |
Note: when a license breach is detected because there is no Remote V and C license, the Summary window shows that a Foundation license is missing. If available, a Foundation license will be used to resolve the breach.
License Checking
License checking is executed every month or after a configuration modification, or after a license has been added, modified or deleted by Extreme Networks or your parent tenant (MSP or Reseller) and is based on your current stock of running licenses.
License Breach Notification
When a license breach is detected, e-mail messages are regularly sent to you or to your parent tenant (MSP) every day, until the breach is resolved.
