Extron LinkLicense 1 Additional VCP Upgrade

Product Overview

The Extron LinkLicense 1 Additional VCP Upgrade adds one additional IPCP Pro xi virtual control processor to an Extron VCA 100 Virtual Control Appliance. This VCA 100 virtual control processor license lets integrators scale a centralized control system by one room without adding another physical control processor to the rack.

Product Description

The VCA 100 Virtual Control Appliance runs multiple IPCP Pro xi virtual control processors on shared server hardware, consolidating what would otherwise be a rack full of individual IPCP Pro xi units into a single appliance. Each virtual control processor operates as a fully independent control system instance, running its own configuration and programming for one room or one system. This LinkLicense adds capacity for exactly one more virtual control processor, which is the right increment when a project needs to add a single room to an existing VCA 100 deployment rather than a full block of rooms. Because it is a software entitlement, no additional hardware, rack space, or cabling is required — the new virtual control processor becomes available for configuration as soon as the license is applied.

Key Features

• One additional virtual control processor — Adds exactly one IPCP Pro xi instance to an existing VCA 100.
• No added hardware — Scales control capacity entirely in software on the existing appliance.
• Independent room configuration — Each virtual control processor runs its own configuration and programming.
• Right-sized for single-room additions — The smallest increment available for VCA 100 expansion.
• Enterprise scalability — Part of a licensing tier that also offers 5- and 10-processor increments for larger expansions.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise control systems adding one additional room to a VCA 100 deployment
• Multi-room campus or facility control consolidation
• Government and command-center control expansions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this require a new VCA 100 appliance?
No. It adds capacity to an existing VCA 100 already installed.

Should I buy the 1-processor license or the 5- or 10-processor license?
Choose the increment that matches your project's room count — the 5- and 10-processor LinkLicenses are more cost-effective for larger expansions. Browse the full Extron IPCP Pro Control Processors line.

Does each virtual control processor need separate programming?
Yes, each virtual control processor is configured and programmed independently, the same as a physical IPCP Pro xi unit.

Can Creation Networks help design a VCA 100 expansion?
Yes. As a certified Extron integrator, Creation Networks designs, commissions, and supports enterprise control systems end to end — see the full Extron catalog or contact our team.
