Smart Licensing for Access Points

How do you load a smart license token so that it would reflect in your smart account that the license has been used. we have tried loading the token to a switch and it is pretty straight forward but for wireless where do we load the token? to the APs or the WLC?

Hello @absuizo14 ,

you load the token on the WLC in order to enable it in using the smart licensing. After that, the WLC will comunicate with Cisco Smart Licensing server and consume licenses for the AP's joined on the controller.

Hope this helps.
