WLC 5508 Licensing moving

[oguarisco]

Hello to all,

Since the WLC5508 is AP license based appliance I was wondering if the license which is coming with the box when ordered is attached to the Appliance S/N itself or can be moved to another WLC in case of failure of the existant one?.

thanks for a feedback

It will come installed on the box if its a standard count. If you buy like a 125 count you will likley have to add the 25 via PAKS. Cisco will send you that license to load.

You have to place the RMA order for this because it is pre installed license and it can not be moved.

Hello,

I was wondering if the article AIR-CT5508-CA-K9 is purchasable since RMA time are too high for customer without WLC Redundancy ??? Or do you have other suggestion??

Tnx

There is really nothing you can do if you purchased a WLC with a base license. Base license you can't move... Adder license you can. If you had to RMA a WLC with a base license, TAC would work with you to be able to add a license to the new WLC that they send to you if it didn't come with a license already.

You can look at the N+1 using the HA sku WLC. This will have no license you have to buy, but will provide redundancy.
