Wireless Access point license

[Herman2018]

Hi, we have 5520 wireless controller and some 3820 APs are online. Now we purchase some 9100 access points and need to add them to this WLC. Do we need to add new AP license to WLC? If yes, what is the procedure? Can anyone please advise, thanks in advance.

Nope.  

Just make sure the WLC is on 8.10.18x.0 (and later).  (8.10.190.0 was released a few days ago.)

Thanks @Leo Laohoo for your advice.

Depends how many APs you have licensed the 5520 for.
Check the license config using: show license statistics (and the other other show license commands for more details)

Thanks @Rich R for your advice. From the below result, seems still can add 44 AP without install new license, is it right? thanks
