License problem with WCS and WLC

[Charith Gamhewa]

Hi All,

I have planned to implement three WLCs and one WCS to manage them.

AP count is as below :-

     WLC #1     -     10 AP

     WLC #2     -     10 AP

     WLC #3     -     20 AP

When WLC #1 is down that connected 10 APs should failover to the WLC #3.

So at normal scenarion, WLC #3 should need 30 AP license; to failover WLC#1 APs properly to the WLC #3

My problem is, Can I load total AP license (40 license) to WCS without installing them to individual WLCs ?

If it is possible i can cut off the additional 10 AP license, required to the HA and failover.

or if I use a WCS may i need to buy additional 40 license to WCS seperately from 40 WLC license ?

Thanks,

Charith

Yes, you required to have seperate licences for WLC & WCS.

You cannot add WLC licence to WCS & vice versa.
