To deploy and manage switches with AmpCon-DC, both AmpCon-DC licenses and PicOS licenses are needed:
To deploy and manage a switch with AmpCon-DC, the Hardware ID of the switch needs to be added to an AmpCon-DC license and the AmpCon-DC license needs to be imported to AmpCon-DC.
During the switch deployment process, AmpCon-DC installs a PicOS license on the switch by getting the license information from the License Portal that you specified in the system configuration.
To manage AmpCon-DC licenses or PicOS licenses, see the following child topics:
You can view all imported AmpCon-DC licenses, import a new or updated AmpCon-DC license to manage more switches, or invalidate the AmpCon-DC license on a switch to release the license.
In addition, you can check the operation logs and alarms related to AmpCon-DC licenses.
You can verify whether PicOS licenses are valid or not by using the License Audit feature. Or you can verify whether PicOS licenses are valid and extend expired PicOS licenses by using the License Action feature.
If the AmpCon-DC server can’t access the License Portal that you specified in the system configuration, you can add local PicOS licenses to AmpCon-DC so that AmpCon-DC can install PicOS licenses on corresponding switches.
