A customer has purchased 10 Versa SD-WAN licenses. In this scenario, which statement is correct?

Versa SD-WAN licensing is subscription-based. A new CPE automatically on-boards (ZTP) to Versa Director, where the Director pulls the purchased license entitlements from Versa’s license server and assigns them to the device; licensing is always managed from Director, not directly on the Controller or via pre-loaded hardware keys.

A. Versa issues entitlement tokens, not soft licenses that the customer installs manually per device.

B. Hardware appliances are sold separately; buying licenses alone does not include pre-licensed CPEs.

D. Controllers forward control-plane traffic but do not perform license assignment; only Director has that role.
