Step 2 If you are ordering online, begin by choosing the primary upgrade SKU L-LIC-CT5508-UPG or LIC
CT5508-UPG. Then, choose any number of the following options to upgrade one or more controllers
under one PAK. Table 4-1 lists the capacity adder licenses available through e-mail or on paper:After
you receive the certificate, use one of two methods to register the PAK:
• Cisco License Manager (CLM)—This method automates the process of obtaining licenses and
deploying them on Cisco devices. For deployments with more than five controllers, we recommend
using CLM to register PAKs and install licenses. You can also use CLM to rehost or RMA a license.
Note You cannot use CLM to change the licensed feature set or activate an ap-count evaluation
license. To perform these operations, you must follow the instructions in the “Activating an
AP-Count Evaluation License” section on page 4-14 and the “Activating an AP-Count
Evaluation License” section on page 4-14. Because you can use CLM to perform all other
license operations, you can disregard the remaining licensing information in this chapter
except these two sections and the “Configuring the License Agent” section on page 4-23 if
you want your controller to use HTTP to communicate with CLM.
Note You can download the CLM software and access user documentation at this URL:

• Licensing portal—This alternative method enables you to manually obtain and install licenses on
your controller. If you want to use the licensing portal to register the PAK, follow the instructions
in Step 3.
Step 3 Use the licensing portal to register the PAK as follows:
a. Go to http://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/Licensing/PrivateRegistrationServlet
b. On the main Product License Registration page, enter the PAK mailed with the certificate in the
Product Authorization Key (PAK) text box and click Submit.
c. On the Validate Features page, enter the number of licenses that you want to register in the Qty text
box and click Update.
d. To determine the controller’s product ID and serial number, choose Controller > Inventory on the
controller GUI or enter the show license udi command on the controller CLI.
Information similar to the following appears on the controller CLI:
Device# PID SN UDI
------- -------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------------------
*0 AIR-CT5508-K9 FCW1308L030 AIR-CT5508-K9:FCW1308L030
e. On the Designate Licensee page, enter the product ID and serial number of the controller on which
you plan to install the license, read and accept the conditions of the end-user license agreement
(EULA), complete the rest of the text boxes on this page, and click Submit.
f. On the Finish and Submit page, verify that all information is correct and click Submit.
g. When a message appears indicating that the registration is complete, click Download License. The
license is e-mailed within 1 hour to the address that you specified.
h. When the e-mail arrives, follow the instructions provided.
i. Copy the license file to your TFTP server.
