Installing AP 'Adder' Licenses on a 5508 using FTP - Is this possible??

Hi,

 

My customer has banned TFTP from the network. Not a problem, I just use FTP. This works for most file operations on the controller (Software Upgrades, Config backups, etc.). However, to increase the AP count, which the customer does repeatedly when they roll out new branches, it seems TFTP is the only option.

This results in an expensive site visit to the Data Center in order to upload the license through the service port. When I would prefer to do it remotely in 10 minutes.

Please note that the customer doesn't currently have Prime/WCS.

 

Is there some other way of installing a license? If not, are there plans on the horizon to add this functionality?

Has anybody thought up some creative ways to get around this 'Feature'?

 

I'd welcome your thoughts.

Regards,

Dan
