Is there any way to free up licences from the wlc?
We have a WLC with a lot of AP's(325/325), so there is no space for new ones. Some AP's are not connected or even completely removed from use.
kind regards

If the AP is not currently connected to the WLC (= not running), it doesn't consume a license. Only the currently attached and active APs utilize a license.
Can you post the output of this command?
show license all
In my case this provides:
(Cisco Controller) >show license all
Feature name: ap_count
License type: Evaluation
License Eula: Not Accepted
Evaluation total period: 12 weeks 6 days
Evaluation period left: 89 days
License state: Inactive, Not-In-Use
License Nodelocked: Yes
RTU License Count: 150
Feature name: ap_count (adder)
License type: Permanent
License state: Active, In-use
License Nodelocked: No
RTU License Count: 5
==================================
Total available count : 5
Total inuse count : 4

That is not how it works.
If the new APs support Mobility Express, then this could be another option to get the APs working without spending.

Thanks for the reply, it was really helpfull. There is now a second problem. So we bought some licences but now the AP's are not connecting to the Prime.

Prime will read the APs directly from the WLC. Make sure the WLC connection is working correctly on Prime and also make sure you have enough Prime device licenses.
