Be aware that you do not need to purchase SmartNET for your APs. You purchase SmartNET for your WLC only.
Make sure you tell the vendor you want to DOWNLOAD firmwares for your WLC (your WLC will take care of the firmware of the APs). So this will mean that your vendor is responsible to link your CCO login to a valid Service Contract. The Service Contract is "tied" to the serial numbers of your WLC and associated Cisco APs.

None.
You need to talk to your vendor who sold you the WLC. They should be jumping-for-joy to sell you the SmartNET.

Thanks for the ratings, Marek.
Be aware that nearly all 802.11n APs (some exclusion to AP1250) are covered under the new Cisco Limited Lifetime Warranty. Read through the link provided. This is why I posted that you do not need maintenance contract for the APs. The main thing to understand is that if you need to RMA your AP, it'll take 10-business days for the replacement part to be sent.
I have spoken to some Cisco Authorized Reseller and some Cisco TAC engineers who insist that the Cisco LLW don't exist or doesn't apply to BLAH model. Don't be fooled.
