Deactivate Eval AP License on 5508

[Christian Faessler]

I would like to deactivate or remove the eval ap license on my WLC 5508 for being able to test a HA setup on a WLC with 0 licenses.

Is there a way to get rid of the eval license while it is active?

In the command reference guide I found the 'license clear ...' command but it says that it is not applicable for the eval licenses.

Thanks for any support, Christian

Is the 5508 that you wish to remove the license an HA sku controller?  If not, then you would need a 50 AP license to setup either N+1 with up to 500 AP's or AP SSO.

Yes, it is an HA SKU controller.

If i'm correct this controller will not need a license. Is this correct?

That is correct. All you have to do is in the GUI Controller tab, set the secondary unit to enable. That will activate the HA and you will see 500 ap license when you click on the monitor tab.

Thank you Scott for your reply. I can see the 500 AP licenses but I'm not sure wheter it is the eval license or the HA-SKU and I dont want to wait 8 weeks until the eval times out to find out if it works. Therefore I want to delete the eval.
