Yes, you need to buy the license for the amount of AP you need.

6000 is the max no of AP this platform could handle.

Thanks for replying Manannalage, would you know what the default amount AP's i'm able to use with out any license's

[Sandeep Choudhary · Accepted solution]

Default is Zero.

But if you can enable the evaulation license on it then you can connect APs to WLC.

Thanks Guys great answers, would either of you guys have a link so i can see how the licensing works on this unit please

The 8510's have right to use licensing, but you still should buy license for TAC support.  Here is the 8510 licensing FAQ:

Thanks Scott, thats great, just one question about the RTU license does it have a time limit?

[Scott Fella · Accepted solution]

It doesn't have a time limit, but Cisco did this to make it easier for the customer and again, it's a trust between you and them:)

Here is the configuration guide that explains the licensing also:

With RTU right to use licensing, it's a trust between you and Cisco. You can enable all 6000 and use it, but you really shouldn't without purchasing license. It will also come down to support contracts.
