  • Virtualized host ID key sharing
    Patent number: 11038860
    Abstract: In virtualized environments a method of determining authorization to a resource cannot use a hardware specific identifier, such as a MAC address. As a result upgrading a virtual host may cause licenses associated with that host to be invalid, even though the upgraded virtual host should be authorized. Authentication methods and systems are disclosed such that a key may be shared with a second host along with a license file and, provided at least the second host has a key associated with its system identifier and a key associated with a license file, access to a licensed resource may be authorized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 10, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 15, 2021
    Assignee: Extreme Networks, Inc.
