For more information about which platforms Ribbon supports NWDL, refer to Ribbon Application Management Platform (RAMP) Documentation23.02.
NWDL is implemented using license management capabilities within the Ribbon Application Management Platform (RAMP). Ribbon Application Management Platform provides the public key used to bind the license to the local domain and is used for associating license data with eligible nodes. The basic steps to implement domain licensing are as follows:
...
To connect to a Ribbon Application Management Platform, you must have acquire a Management ID from Ribbon Sales. To obtain a Management ID, follow the Management ID acquisition process. Refer to Obtaining a Management ID.acquire the ID, contact Ribbon as follows:

Connect to Ribbon Application Management Platform (RAMP)
You can connect to RAMP and install the Management ID during initial setup or Azure deployment. For the procedure, refer to: SBC SWe Edge: Configuring for Ribbon Application Management Platform during Initial Setup and Running Initial Setup on SBC SWe Edge.
Prerequisite
For SBC SWe Edge standalone VMs, if using a template, check that ACL rules are configured to allow connectivity to Ribbon Application Management Platform.

- Features which are disabled by default, and for which the managing RAMP must explicitly activate to allow the SBC to offer the feature in question.
- If the feature has not been explicitly activated by the RAMP, a red cross will appear in the Licensed column of the Current Licenses display; furthermore, the operator will not be able to configure or make use of the feature.
- If the feature has been explicitly activated by the RAMP, a green checkmark will appear in the Licensed column of the Current Licenses display; furthermore, the operator will be able to configure or make use of the feature.
- Select features (e.g., SBC-SA-RTU-D, etc.) will be activated with a quantity value, found in the Total Licenses field of the Current Licenses display.
- A non-zero value in the Total Licenses field represents the quantity of the feature explicitly activated by the RAMP, but does not represent an upper quantity bound of the feature; the SBC is free to exceed this value, if so configured by the operator and if operation warrants.
- A positive value in the Available Licenses field represents the quantity of the feature as not being offered by the SBC during its operational lifetime;
- A negative value in the Available Licenses field represents the quantity of the feature offered by the SBC during its operational lifetime above and beyond the quantity of the feature explicitly activated by the RAMP. The operator should access the RAMP to activate additional quantity of the feature in question, so that the negative value disappears in favor of a higher value in the Total Licenses field. The operator may also be required to purchase additional feature licenses, should the NWDL pool in the RAMP not be sufficient to address the actual excess feature usage.
- Select features (e.g., TEAMS-SBA-D, etc.) will not be activated with a quantity value, but rather a Boolean value found in the Total Licenses field of the Current Licenses display. These features, once activated, remain available without regard to quantity.
- Features which are enabled by default. No action is required from the managing RAMP to explicitly activate the feature to allow the SBC to offer the feature in question.
- Such features (e.g., SBC-CNE-SA-INSTANCE-D, etc.) features will always have a green checkmark will appear in the Licensed column of the Current Licenses display; furthermore, the operator will be able to configure or make use of the feature.
- Such features may have a positive value in the Available Licenses field representing the feature has been accounted from the RAMP by the operator.
- Such features may have a negative value in the Available Licenses field representing the feature has not been accounted from the RAMP by the operator. The operator should access the RAMP to account for the feature in question, so that the negative value disappears in favor of a positive value in the Total Licenses field. The operator may also be required to purchase additional feature licenses, should the NWDL pool in the RAMP not be sufficient to address the actual feature usage across the NWDL licensing domain.
