Wireless Access Point Smart Licensing for Cisco 5520, 8540, and Virtual Wireless Controllers
Q&A
Cisco Public
Q
Is smart licensing the only licensing option for
smart enabled wireless controllers or can the
customer continue to use RTU licensing?
A
Smart licensing is optional. If the customer does not wish to
use smart licensing on controllers enabled for smart licensing,
the customer can continue to use RTU licensing on the 5520,
8540, and vWLC. For additional questions regarding RTU
licensing, refer to
.
Q
What will happen if the customer tries to
connect more access points to the controllers
of a particular product family than the number
of licenses the customer has for that controller
family?
A
The pooled license count will go negative for that controller
model family. The customer will get a notification that they are
out of compliance. The network operation will not be disrupted
while the customer makes arrangements to get back into
compliance.
Q
Who will be notified if the customer goes out of
compliance?
A
The smart account creator (the customer or the partner, in the
case of partner-managed accounts) can set who gets notified
when the customer goes out of compliance.
