WLC 5508 Guest Controller licensing

Hi All,

I have purchased the following hardware with the following configuration:

WCS-PLUS-100 Cisco WCS with PLUS License

2 x AIR-CT5508-100-K9 Cisco 5508 Series Wireless Controller

One controller is in use for Corporate, the other is the Guest Access controller.

We are at a stage where I want to increase the AP device count. My question is am I able to transfer the license from the Guest controller across to the Corporate controller (as no APs are associated with the Guest controller) and, do I also need to increase the license on the WCS?

Cheers,

Dan

Hi Dan,

You will not able to transfer license from 1 controller to another.license is device based, you cant use the license of one WLC in another . You can get addittive license for 25 AP support ownwards. You can order based on your number of AP

and, do I also need to increase the license on the WCS?

Yes, if you want the AP to be monitored in WCS and if the AP limit hasnt reached

Thanks
