Just to add, the license for the 5520 is RTU, so you can add/remove the license(s) whenever you want.  Even if you factory reset the 5520, you can go into the licensing and add the number of licenses you want.

Hello @Scott Fella 

I find it hard to understand your kind response. what I want to know by proceeding with the "Restore-Password" command, is that behind I will have access to the WLC with the same configuration and the same licenses as before the prodecedure.

NB: I no longer have the license files
