Obtaining a License Voucher
You can order the desired functionality from the factory, using the appropriate model of the desired
product. If you order licensing from the factory, the license arrives in a separate package from the
switch. After the license key is installed, it should not be necessary to enter the information again.
However, Extreme Networks recommends keeping the certificate for your records.
You can obtain a regular license; you cannot downgrade licenses. The software key contains all the
necessary information on the license level.
You can upgrade the license of an existing product by purchasing a license voucher from Extreme
Networks. Please contact your supplier to purchase a voucher.
The voucher contains information and instructions on obtaining a license key for the switch using the
Extreme Networks Support website at:

Networks switches.
