What is the process of obtaining feature license?

Introduction

This How To article is designed to help you familiarize with the Allied Telesis feature license system for the AlliedWare Plus operating system.

The Licensing Feature request is a simple process:

  1. Request the license in the Allied Telesis Webpage.
  2. Your Allied Telesis Partner creates a feature key and the system emails you the details of that key. Visit our website to activate the key. This generates an enabling password for the license.
  3. Enter that password on each requested device.

 

Requesting a feature key

To request a feature key, Please provide the following information in the License Request portal:
  1. The Purchase Order Number / Reference Number / Trace ID of the license purchased.
  2. The End User Name and the Company Name, the Contact details, including a business email address.
  3. The device model or models that you want to use the feature on.
  4. The name of the feature license that you want to use. Each feature license contains a group of related features.
  5. For each model, the number of devices you want to activate the license and their serial numbers in  the comments box.

The first time you request a feature key, your Allied Telesis Partner will create an account for you in the Allied Telesis Licensing Portal. The system will send you an email, see the following example:
