Cisco 3850 AP licenses.

I'm hoping somebody can help me, I am about to deploy 3850s on a site with ~ 30 x 2602i AP's I have a couple of questions.

1. I can't figure out whether I need to buy licenses or not for the 3850s, I don't understand the difference between the MA and MC modes

It needs to send the 4 wireless networks on site back to an anchor controller (5508) at another location, none of the wireless networks need to interact with anything wired at site.

2. Do I need to upgrade the anchor controller as it is currently running 6.0.188.0 firmware before it will work?

Just to confirm, Can you transfer an ap license from 3850 switch to a newly purchased centralized 5520/8540 controller?

You can not transfer.
