Ordering the Cisco MSE Services Licenses
The Cisco MSE requires licenses to enable functionality. Base Location and Connected Mobile Experiences (CMX)
licenses are purchased on a per-access-point basis and are additive.
There are three types of MSE licenses:
●
Base Location license: Provides the ability to detect, track, and trace Wi-Fi clients, rogue devices, Cisco
CleanAir
®
interferers, and RFID tags as well as advanced spectrum capability. The Base Location license
also enables customers and partners to use standard MSE APIs (REST or SOAP). For a list of partners,
please see the Cisco Developer Network
●
CMX license: The CMX license provides all the functionality of the Base Location license with the addition
of CMX capabilities:
◦
CMX Analytics, a flexible location analytics platform to view and analyze how, where, and when visitors
move through a venue.
◦
CMX Connect, a customizable and location-aware captive portal to onboard guest users to the Wi-Fi
network.
◦
CMX for Facebook Wi-Fi, helping guests connect to the Wi-Fi network while providing organizations or
merchants with social demographic data via Facebook Insights.
◦
CMX SDK, a mobile app software development kit (SDK) that enables organizations to integrate Wi-Fi-
based indoor navigation with push notification and auto-launch capabilities into mobile apps.
An upgrade license is also available (L-UPG-LS-1AP) for customers that have Base Location licenses and wish to
upgrade to the CMX license.
Please note that you do not need separate, per-access-point licenses for every instance of MSE. If two MSEs are
running different CMX services (for example, one MSE with CMX Analytics and another MSE with CMX Connect),
only one of the MSEs needs to have CMX licenses hosted on it. The MSE that is actively calculating the location
must have per-access-point licenses. For license scaling guidelines, refer to Table 1, which outlines the number of
access points supported for each service and platform.
●
Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS) license: Requires a separate MSE running the wIPS
service. There are three deployment options:
◦
Monitor mode: The number of wIPS licenses required equals the number of access points configured in
the full-time monitor mode.
◦
Enhanced Local mode: The number of wIPS licenses required equals the number of access points in
local mode (data serving) deployed in the network.
◦
Monitor module: The number of wIPS licenses required equals the number of
MSE licenses are available as options under L-MSE-PAK in the Order Tool. Table 2 provides an overview of the
MSE license SKUs.
