Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to receive configuration instructions for elements of a network topology to be simulated and tested. In response to receiving and in accordance with the configuration instructions, a plurality of software images (for a plurality of virtual network elements of the network topology) are configured via an Application Programming Interface (API). The plurality of software images run in a cloud host. In response to receiving and in accordance with the configuration instructions, data is configured via the API, which represents one or more connections between the virtual network elements. A plurality of software images for the plurality of virtual network elements is then executed in accordance with the data representing the connections, for development and testing of the network topology.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for delegating authority over licenses to use computer products in a disconnected network. In one example, a collector device receives a delegation of authority from a license manager device to manage entitlements for a plurality of computer products installed in a network infrastructure. The collector device receives an identifier from each computer product. The collector device receives a configuration state of each computer product, wherein each configuration state includes a set of features that are enabled on the first computer product. The collector device sends to the license manager device a report that includes each identifier and each configuration state.
