Software Licenses
ArubaOS supports a variety of optional add-on licenses that enhance the base OS, and provide advanced
features including as wireless intrusion protection, advanced cryptography, policy-based traffic management
and controls, web content classification and stateful user firewalls.
ArubaOS supports a centralized licensing architecture, which allows a group of connected controllers to share a
pool of licenses. A primary and backup service controller can share a single set of licenses, eliminating the need
for a redundant license set on the backup server. Local licensing client controllers maintain information sent
from the licensing server, even if the licensing client controller and the licensing server controller can no longer
communicate.

and describe how licenses are consumed on the Controllers.
