Sharable vs Controller-Specific Licenses
Many licenses are consumed on a per-AP or per-user basis. These license types can be shared by a group of
controllers using the same centralized licensing server. The licenses that are specific to an individual controller
cannot be shared among controllers via centralized licensing.
