WLSE to WCS migration

[adbaker]

Can someone help me clarify what options are available to a customer with 800 APs that is finally migrating to a centralised model and therefore migrating from WLSE to WCS?

Assuming that they move to v8 of WCS can they upgrade their WLSE licenses to WCS?

See the following link for WLSE to WCS conversion:

To upgrade to NCS which is a replacement of WCS after version 7, you will need to purchase new licenses.  Below is the ordering guide for NCS:
