OS10 licensing logic?
It's hard to find clear cut answers.
1. Is OS10 enterprise license permanent?
2. Does pricing depend on the device model? (If not purchased together with the device)
3. What are the fundamental differences between OS10 enterprise and OS10 open edition? (probably no VLT in open edition?)

Thank you for responding.
Just so I am clear, OS10 has three editions
1. Open Edition (Base Module and free)
2. Enterprise Edition requires permanent license
3. Trial Edition (runs on a trial) license
Regardless of the edition, they all include the "Linux distribution,
as well as SAI (Open Compute project) and CPS APIs, providing Abstraction
for NPU as well as the Control Plane."
Is the above correct?
Please provide the download link for the open edition.
Also,OS10 image and firmware install and upgrade is well documented but
there is no information regarding backup.
Can I also do a "image upload tftp:// / " to backup
the image or firmware?
Thank you.

Hi @jessieobioma,
To sum up, yes you are correct. For open edition, your switch will need to be in "ON" model, which in short for Open Networking, in such like S4148F-ON or S5212F-ON to be able to install Open Networking OS. Open Networking is 3rd party networking OS. An example: https://dell.to/3NS9Tfm
You will not be able to back up your OS image or firmware on the switch.
