You have one of the older 5508 controllers then?
The newer 5520 don't anymore require licenses to be installed. You just configure how many APs you have licenses for and hit ok, without a reboot.
In the case of the 5508, I'm not sure, but I'd try to install all the new licenses and then do the reboot.

yes i have 5508 , but uploading and restarting for each six licenses would take horribly long downtime

True, that's why I suggest to install them all in one go and then do a single reboot. Please note, all the new licenses should be "adder" licenses. If I remember correctly, the wlc only allows one base license and the rest adder licenses.
