Q. What types of licenses are available under RTU licensing scheme?

A. The different types of licenses available are:

1. Permanent or base licenses: These licenses are physically programmed into the controller hardware at

manufacturing. These are “base count” licenses that cannot be deleted or transferred.

2. Adder licenses: These are wireless access point count licenses that can be activated by the customer by

accepting the RTU EULA. The EULA states that the customer/user is obliged to purchase the specified

access point count licenses at the time of activation. The user needs to activate these licenses for the

purchased access points count and to accept the EULA to activate. Adder licenses provide the customer

with the flexibility to scale as the business grows.

3. Evaluation licenses: These licenses are for demo or trial mode valid for 90 days. 15 days prior to the

expiry of the 90-day period, notifications and messages will be generated to inform the customer to buy

the permanent license. These Evaluation licenses are installed with the license image. The customer can

activate the Evaluation licenses anytime with a command. An EULA is presented to the user on executing

the activation CLI. The EULA states that the customer is obligated to pay for the specified license count

within 90 days of usage. Countdown starts with the acceptance of the EULA.

Q. What does the EULA state and what is the process to enable RTU?

A. Each time a user adds or deletes an access point adder license on the controller via the CLI or GUI, the

following RTU EULA is presented. The user has the flexibility to accept or decline the RTU EULA for each

add/delete operation.

Right to Use End User License Agreement

Enabling additional access points supported by this controller product may require the purchase of supplemental or
“adder” licenses. You may remove supplemental licenses from one controller and transfer to another controller in

the same product family. NOTE: licenses embedded in the controller at time of shipment are not transferrable.

By clicking “I AGREE” (or “I ACCEPT”) below, you warrant and represent that you have purchased sufficient

supplemental licenses for the access points to be enabled.

All supplemental licenses are subject to the terms and conditions of the Cisco end user license agreement

(

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html

), together with any applicable

supplemental end user license agreements, or SEULA’s.

Pursuant to such terms, Cisco is entitled to confirm that your access point enablement is properly licensed.

If you do not agree with any of the above, do not proceed further and CLICK “DECLINE” below.

Q. Is RTU licensing same as license pooling?

A. No. RTU licensing allows:

●

License transfer of access point adder licenses from one controller to another controller but only between

the same model (for example, from a Flex 7510 controller to another Flex 7510 controller or from an 8510

controller to another 8510 controller).

●

Licenses embedded in the controller at time of shipment are not transferrable.
