A customer has purchased 10 Versa SD-WAN licenses.

The correct answer is C . In Versa Secure SD-WAN, licensing and device management are centralized through Versa Director , not directly through the Controller. During zero-touch provisioning and staging, the branch device is brought under centralized management, and Director pushes the required staging and operational configuration. Versa staging documentation explains that during Stage 2 and Stage 3, Versa Director pushes configuration to the branch device, and after Stage 3 the branch becomes fully operational as part of the customer SD-WAN network.

Versa monitoring documentation also shows that the Director node provides license visibility, specifically stating that the Director monitoring view includes a License pane that displays information about the licenses installed on the VOS devices managed by the Director node. This confirms that license administration is handled from Director, not from the Controller. The Controller is responsible for SD-WAN control-plane functions and tunnel connectivity, but it is not the primary system for managing customer license subscriptions.

Option A is incomplete because the practical operational model is not simply receiving individual soft licenses. Option B incorrectly implies licenses are preloaded on physical CPEs as the key licensing method. Option D is incorrect because ZTP management and license subscription handling are not performed by the Controller.
