WPlus License Features Included in Base License
All features included in a Wireless LAN Controller WPlus license are now included in the base license; this change is introduced in release 7.0.230.0. There are no changes to WCS BASE and PLUS licensing.
These WPlus license features are included in the base license:
•
Office Extend AP
•Enterprise Mesh
•CAPWAP Data Encryption
The licensing change can affect features on your wireless LAN when you upgrade or downgrade software releases, so you should be aware of these guidelines:
•If you have a WPlus license and you upgrade from 6.0.18x to 7.0.230.0, your license file contains both Basic and WPlus license features. You will not see any disruption in feature availability and operation.
•If you have a WPlus license and you downgrade from 7.0.230.0 to 6.0.196.0, 6.0.188 or 6.0.182, the license file in 7.0.220.0 contains both Basic and WPlus license features, so you will not see any disruption in feature availability and operation.
•If you have a base license and you downgrade from 7.0.230.0. 7.0.220.0, 6.0.196.0, 6.0.188.0 or 6.0.182.0, you lose all WPlus features.
Note Some references to the Wireless LAN Controller WPlus licenses remain in WCS and in the controller CLI and GUI in release 7.0.230.0. However, WLC WPlus license features have been included in the Base license, so you can ignore those references.
Thank Scott, but I'm still unclear on how I can confirm that the license is definately installed becuase; they can be ordered without the license, and the configuration guide says that you need to have the license.
I'm running 7.0.230.0.
From the configuration guide:
The Availability of data DTLS for the 7.0.116.0 release is as follows:
2500, WiSM2, WLC2—These platforms by default will not contain DTLS. To turn on data DTLS, you must install a license. These platforms will have a single image with data DTLS turned off. To use data DTLS you will need to have a license.
When ordering the 2504 you can choose to include the DTLS license or not. What I'm trying to find out is if the DTLS license is installed or not. It shoudl be on there, but I'm struggling to find a way to confirm this.
OEAP600 registrations are currently failing with the error CAPWAP State: DTLS Teardown, so I'm wondering if the license may be the cause of this problem...

Since you are running 7.0.230.0, you don't have to worry about having to install a DTLS license.... your WLC doesn't need it anymore and you will not see a license unless you install a license file. I have a 2504 and have used OfficeExtend for testing. As ling as you can enable data encryption, you don't need a licence. If you can't enable data encryption you will need a license.
