ATEN CC2000PL Centralized Management Software USB License Key
Overview
The CC2000PL is a USB license key that activates ATEN's CC2000 Centralized Management Software — a platform built for IT and data center teams that need unified visibility over distributed KVM switches, PDUs, serial console servers, and out-of-band service processors from a single management console. Rather than logging into individual devices, operators connect via browser or Java/Windows client to monitor, control, and schedule tasks across the full infrastructure. If you're managing more than a handful of ATEN devices across racks or remote sites, CC2000PL is the license that turns scattered device access into a structured management layer. The package ships with the USB key and a software CD; you supply a Windows or Linux host meeting the minimum hardware spec (Pentium 4 / 2.60 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 500 MB free disk, Gigabit LAN).
Compatibility
CC2000 supports ATEN KVM over IP switches and manages out-of-band service processors including Dell iDRAC6, IBM RSA II, HP iLO3, HP iLO5, Dell CMC, IBM AMM, HP OA, IPMI, and IMM — meaning it integrates with existing server management cards already deployed in most enterprise server fleets. Virtual infrastructure support covers VMware vSphere 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5, Windows Server 2008, 2012, and 2016, and Citrix XenServer 6.5, so it can reflect VM topology alongside physical devices. Client access works via JavaClient (JNLP) or WinClient (ActiveX) and supports RDP, VNC, SSH, and Telnet connections — covering both KVM and serial/IP targets. Browsers supported: Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. Notifications route via SMTP, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, and Syslog, which means CC2000 slots into existing NOC alerting workflows without custom integration work.
Installation Notes
Server redundancy scales to 1 primary plus up to 31 secondary CC2000 servers — relevant for organizations requiring high availability on the management plane itself. The USB license key must remain connected to the CC2000 host server for the software to operate; this is a hardware-bound license, not a floating software key. Minimum host requirements are modest but fixed: a Gigabit LAN interface is required (not optional) since CC2000 communicates with managed devices over the network. Firmware for the USB key is at v2.1.206; patch files are available for both Windows and Linux hosts. IPv6 is supported alongside IPv4, which matters for environments that have migrated network segments away from legacy addressing.
