Smart Licensing

[Kevynjr37]

Hi Everyone,
I really appreciate some assistance in licensing a vWLC9800-Cloud. It is my first time working with smart licensing using policy. I have 120 APs, 50 of the APs have joined the controller, and the other 70 could not. I then went through a Cisco document that said a certain number of APs would join the controller, but you have to register for the rest of the other APs to join the controller.
I can't get my head around the smart licensing thing - I went through the Cisco docs and watched videos, but it is still not helping.
I would appreciate it if anybody shared the commands I need in WLC to register the license.

I've already created the virtual account and generated the token, which I find simple.

Best Regards,

Kevin

@Scott Fella remember that smart license enforcement was introduced on 9800-CL.  It will allow up to 50 APs to join without license activation.  Any more than that only allowed after activating the license so Kevin is right.

Note	Starting from Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.7.1, the Cisco Catalyst 9800-CL Wireless Controller will not accept more than 50 APs if the smart licensing is not connected and up.
