Installing and Configuring Licenses
You can use the capacity adder licenses to increase the number of access points supported by the
controller up to a maximum of 500 access points. The capacity adder licenses are available in access
point capacities of 10, 25, 50, 100 and 250 access points. You can add these licenses to any of the base
capacity licenses of 12, 25, 50, 100 and 250 access points.
For example, if your controller was initially ordered with support for 100 access points (base license
AIR-CT5508-100-K9), you could increase the capacity to 500 access points by purchasing a 250 access
point, 100 access point, and a 50 access point additive capacity license (LIC-CT5508-250A,
LIC-CT5508-100A, and LIC-CT5508-50A).

Note If you skip any tiers when upgrading (for example, if you do not install the -25U and -50U licenses along
with the -100U), the license registration for the upgraded capacity fails.
FFor a single controller, you can order different upgrade licenses in one transaction (for example, -25U,
-50U, -100U, and -250U), for which you receive one PAK with one license. Then you have only one
license (instead of four) to install on your controller.
If you have multiple controllers and want to upgrade all of them, you can order multiple quantities of
each upgrade license in one transaction (for example, you can order 10 each of the -25U, -50U, -100U,
and -250 upgrade licenses), for which you receive one PAK with one license. You can continue to register
the PAK for multiple controllers until it is exhausted.
