Downloading software from PLDS

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

When you place an order for an Avaya PLDS-licensed software product, PLDS creates the license entitlements of the order and sends an email notification to you. The email includes a license activation code (LAC) and instructions for accessing and logging into PLDS.

Note:

Avaya Aura® Device Services is an entitlement, so it does not require any licenses.

After downloading an Avaya Aura® Device Services OVA, you must verify that the SHA256 checksum of the OVA file matches the SHA256 checksum value provided on PLDS. To calculate the SHA256 checksum, you can use any SHA256 hash calculation tool, such as sha256sum.

Along with PLDS, you can download the product software from https://support.avaya.com using the Downloads and Documents tab at the top of the page.

Note:

Only the latest service pack for each release is posted on the support site. Previous service packs are available only through PLDS.
