License

SoodarOS uses a license manager to allow users to choose their plans and use the trial version flexibly. To change the licensing, one needs to create a license request and send it to the corporation for signing. Once the signed certificate is imported, its effect is immediate.

Default license

When SoodarOS lacks a license file, it continues to work. But restrictions are applied. These restrictions are:

  • Drop supporting ethernets faster than Gigabit ethernet.

  • Support a maximum of 8 hardware interfaces.

  • Limit VPLS interfaces count to 5.

  • Limit VXLAN interfaces count to 4.

  • Limit protected tunnels to 2 tunnels.

  • Support up to 10 Access-list.

  • Limit access-list entries to 10 per ACL.

  • Support up to 2 Policy map.

  • NAT44 IP pool is limited to 32 IPs.

  • NAT44 static entries are limited to 32 entries.

  • Limit VRFs to 2 VRFs( not counting default VRF).

  • Limit routes per VRF to 64.

License request

To import a license, an enrollment is needed. SoodarOS makes a license request on user demand and displays it on the screen to achieve this. The displayed request should be sent for signing.

license generate license-request [terminal]

Generate license requests and display them on screen.

Import license

Importing a signed license is by copy-pasting the license on the screen.

license import license terminal

Import a signed license.

Check license

To verify the license, license check command is used. If there are errors, they are printed on the screen.

license check

Check installed license.

Show license

Checking current limits( and used quotas) is done via show license command.

show license

Show current license limits.

Note

A negative value for a resource limit means that the resource is unlimited.
