https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/wlc-licensing-failover-wan/m-p/2350863#M43160 <P>Currently, we have two regions that have 5508 wireless controllers on 7.5.102.0.&nbsp; Both regions are in an AP SSO configuration for redundancy.&nbsp; Each active controller has a 150 license on it.&nbsp; I do understand that when the active controller has an issue, where the passive becomes active, the licensing will failover.&nbsp; However, my issue is what will happen when one of the regions has a disaster.&nbsp; The way that we have our high availability is that all N. American AP's have the European WLC as their secondary controller, and vice versa.&nbsp; As it is today, if the N. American controllers completely go down, all the AP's that report back to them will(or should) failover to the European controller because of the HA setup on the AP's.&nbsp; However, since we do not have enough licenses, to support a complete failover like that, we would have to buy addr licenses to support that type of failover.&nbsp; Are there any plans, in the near future, where Cisco will support a none root port license failover on the WLC's?&nbsp; So the N. American license fails over to the European controller, in the event of a disaster?&nbsp; A 250 addr license is around 39k per WLC.&nbsp; Thanks for any help!</P> Sun, 04 Jul 2021 07:53:06 GMT Stavros Zannikos 2021-07-04T07:53:06Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/wlc-licensing-failover-wan/m-p/2350863#M43160 <P>Currently, we have two regions that have 5508 wireless controllers on 7.5.102.0.&nbsp; Both regions are in an AP SSO configuration for redundancy.&nbsp; Each active controller has a 150 license on it.&nbsp; I do understand that when the active controller has an issue, where the passive becomes active, the licensing will failover.&nbsp; However, my issue is what will happen when one of the regions has a disaster.&nbsp; The way that we have our high availability is that all N.
