Hi ,
One of my colleague purchased a 9 AP adder license for Cisco 2504 WLC.
He has connected his Laptop directly to the WLC and trying to install the file via CLI. Connectivity between PC to WLC is fine, however he is receiving below error msg while trying to install that License file.
Please help

What kind of code are u running? until 7.3 only 50APs are allowed, later 75 APs per WLC
how much AP Lics are currently installed. maybe that exceeds the supported value?
Did you try to update it via GUI if the above doesn't fit..
best regards,
Sebastian
pls. rate if helpful

This is not a code, we were trying to install the additional AP license file.
WLC has 6 AP base license, now we are installing 9 AP adder license.
Yes ,we have tried via GUI as well, same error ...

To install a license on the controller using the controller CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1
Install a license on the controller by entering this command:
where url is tftp:// server_ip / path / filename .

Note To remove a license from the controller, enter the license clear license_name command. For example, you might want to delete an expired evaluation license or any unused license. You cannot delete unexpired evaluation licenses, the permanent base image license, or licenses that are in use by the controller.
Step 2
If you are prompted to accept the end-user license agreement (EULA), read and accept the terms of the agreement.

Note Typically, you are prompted to accept the EULA for evaluation, extension, and rehost licenses. The EULA is also required for permanent licenses, but it is accepted during license generation.
Step 3
Add comments to a license or delete comments from a license by entering this command:
license comment { add | delete } license_name comment_string
Step 4
Save a backup copy of all installed licenses by entering this command:
where url is tftp:// server_ip / path / filename .
Step 5
Reboot the controller by entering this command:
Step 6
Follow the instructions in the “Viewing Licenses” section to see the status of the license you installed.
Step 7
If the desired license is not being used by the controller, follow the instructions in the “Choosing the Licensed Feature Set” section or the “Activating an AP-Count Evaluation License” section to change the license that is used by the controller.

Dear All,
We know how to install the license.
There was an error on PID value in lic file.
Now Cisco license support has given new file and issue has resolved.
Thanks to all...
