Activating an AP-Count Evaluation License
If you are considering upgrading to a license with a higher access point count, you can try an evaluation
license before upgrading to a permanent version of the license. For example, if you are using a permanent
license with a 50-access-point count and want to try an evaluation license with a 100-access-point count,
you can try out the evaluation license for 60 days.
AP-count evaluation licenses are set to low priority by default so that the controller uses the ap-count
permanent license. If you want to try an evaluation license with an increased access point count, you
must change its priority to high. If you no longer want to have this higher capacity, you can lower the
priority of the ap-count evaluation license, which forces the controller to use the permanent license.
Note To prevent disruptions in operation, the controller does not switch licenses when an evaluation license
expires. You must reboot the controller in order to return to a permanent license. Following a reboot, the
controller defaults to the same feature set level as the expired evaluation license. If no permanent license
at the same feature set level is installed, the controller uses a permanent license at another level or an
unexpired evaluation license.
You can activate ap-count evaluation licenses using the controller GUI or CLI.
Using the GUI to Activate an AP-Count Evaluation License
To activate an ap-count evaluation license using the controller GUI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Management > Software Activation > Licenses to open the Licenses page (see Figure 4-6).
