RTU license

Right to Use (RTU) licensing is a model in which licenses are not tied to a unique device identifier (UDI), product ID, or serial number.

Use RTU licensing to enable a desired AP license count on the controller after you accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). This allows you to add AP counts on a controller interacting with external tools.

RTU licensing is supported only on the following Cisco Wireless Controller platforms:

• Cisco 3504 WLC

• Cisco 5520 WLC

• Cisco Flex 7510 WLC

• Cisco 8510 WLC

• Cisco 8540 WLC

• Cisco vWLC

RTU licensing model中，有以下的license可用：

• Permanent or base licenses：這些license是在製造設備時編寫到設備硬件中的，它們是沒法被刪除或被transfer的base count licenses。
• Adder licenses：這些許可證是AP計數許可證，您能夠經過接受RTU EULA來激活這些許可證。（ The EULA states that you are obliged to purchase the specified access point count licenses at the time of activation. You must activate these licenses for the purchased access points count and accept the EULA.）這類型的license就能夠在同一系列WLC之間transfer。（注意：不一樣系列的WLC之間的license沒法被transfer，例如向將WLC2504上的license transfer 到WLC5508是不行的！Licenses embedded in the controller at the time of shipment is not transferrable ！）
• Evaluation licenses：這些許可證是有效期爲90天的demo或試用模式許可證。在90天期限到期前15天，您將收到有關購買永久許可證的通知。

 

RTU license激活：

Step 1	Choose Management > Software Activation > Licenses to open the Licenses page.
Step 2	In the Adder License area, choose to add or delete the number of APs that an AP license can support, enter a value, and click Set Count.
Step 3	Save the configuration.

 

CLI配置：

license {add | delete} ap-count count

license {add | delete} feature license_name

license {activate | deactivate} ap-count eval

license {activate | deactivate} feature license_name

Note：若是激活的許可證支持的AP數量少於鏈接到控制器的當前AP數量，則激活命令將失敗。

Note: After you add or delete the license, WLC must use the save config command to save the license.
