Q
Do the devices (wireless controllers) have to be connected directly to the cloud if the customer wants to use
smart licensing?
A
No. Smart licensing allows two main modes of connecting to the smart licensing portal: (1) Data to be sent directly to the cloud by the
controller (using HTTPS and HTTPS proxy) and (2) data to be sent to the cloud by the controller via an on-premises satellite collector (such as
the Smart Call Home Transport Gateway that is available as a VM download at no cost). Please refer to the deployment guide for more details.
