WLC licenses

[asmlicense]

dear all,

we have 2x5508 model controllers and we want to reset them. what about the licenses ? would we be able to use the wlc in original way ?

or we will need to reinstall, upload or any other action with current licenses ?

Delete the configuration does not remove license. But, it is a good idea to backup your license first, in case you dont have it saved.

A factory reset will not remove license files, whether it's a base license or an addon license.

Licenses are stored as files within the controller's file system, similar to how 'startup-config' functions in AirOS. Deleting the 'startup-config' file and rebooting does not impact other files in the system, including the license files.

To save a backup copy of all installed licenses or license credentials on the Cisco 5500 Series Controller, use the license save command.

license save credential url

credential	Device credential information.
url	URL of the TFTP server (tftp://server_ip/path/filename).

Example: 

(Cisco Controller) > license save credential tftp://10.10.10.10/path/cred.lic
