  - The document you are mentioning is old and also refers to aireos based controllers , the modern 9800 controller also use another licensing model. You don't need any special licenses for mesh , but make sure all intended implementations with components used are compatible according to : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/compatibility/matrix/compatibility-matrix.html

Latest AireOS config guide for mesh is:

Good Document on configuring Mesh on the 9800 WLC

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/catalyst-9800-series-wireless-controllers/215100-join-mesh-aps-to-catalyst-9800-wireless.html 

As Marce said the licensing of the 9800 is different to AireOS, Mesh APs consume the same licensing as a standard AP with the exception you need one for each RAP and MAP to be deployed
