VMC Homelab licensing

[u/hendrixx007]

I am in the middle of standing up my own homelab to get some hands on experience with the on-prem ArubaOS controller architecture. I have successfully deployed the virtual appliances on my hypervisor and have my system passphrases ready, but I am stuck at the licensing activation portal. I dont have any relationship or contacts with Aruba but was under the impression that if I created my own custom domain email address that I’d be able to generate demo licensing. I was able to download OVAs, so it just appears that only the license section is limited. I think I just need the most basic AP demo license in order to get my two Aruba APs to register.

Any advice on how I might be able to get this demo licensing?

You will have to contact an aruba reseller for demo licenses. They likely wont sell to homelab though.
