Questions & Answers
What is the L-LIC-CT5508-50A license?
The L-LIC-CT5508-50A is a 50-access point (AP) adder license for Cisco 5508 Wireless Controllers, delivered electronically for immediate deployment.
How do I activate my 50 AP adder license?
Log into the Cisco Licensing Portal, enter the entitlement certificate (EID), redeem your activation key, then install it on your 5508 controller via the web GUI or CLI under Device > Licensing.
Is the L-LIC-CT5508-50A license compatible with my existing 5508 controller?
Yes. The 50 AP adder license is fully compatible with any Cisco 5508 Wireless Controller running firmware 8.0 or later.
What is the delivery method for this license?
This product is provided via e-delivery. You receive an entitlement identifier and activation key by email, eliminating shipping delays.
Can I stack multiple 50 AP adder licenses?
Absolutely. You can stack up to the controller’s maximum capacity (up to 500 APs) by installing additional 50 AP adder licenses.
How long is the L-LIC-CT5508-50A license valid?
This license is perpetual—once installed, the 50 AP capacity remains indefinitely, with optional support and update subscriptions available separately.
What are the prerequisites for installing this license?
Ensure your 5508 controller is registered with Cisco.com, running supported firmware (8.0+), and has a valid service contract for license activation.
How do I verify the license installation status?
On the 5508 GUI, navigate to Administration > Licensing > License Summary. The new AP count appears under ‘Total Licensed APs’.
Can I transfer the 50 AP license to another controller?
Yes. Use the Cisco Licensing Portal to revoke the license from the original controller and reassign it to a different 5508 controller.
What support options are available for this license?
Cisco offers Smart Net Total Care for 24x7 hardware replacement, software updates, and technical support; purchase separately when ordering your license.
How does e-delivery licensing benefit me?
E-delivery provides immediate access to activation keys, reduces procurement lead times, and eliminates shipping costs for faster network scaling.
Can I upgrade from a 50 AP adder to a higher capacity license?
Yes. Purchase additional 50 AP adder licenses or a single higher-capacity license bundle through the Cisco ordering portal to meet growth needs.
What is the difference between base and adder licenses?
The base license enables initial AP support (up to 25 APs). Adder licenses expand capacity in increments of 50 APs for flexible scalability.
Do I need a service contract to use the license?
While the license is perpetual, an active Cisco service contract is required for software updates, technical support, and access to the Licensing Portal.
How quickly can I deploy new access points after license installation?
Deployment is immediate. Once the 50 AP adder license is installed and verified, you can register and configure new APs on your 5508 controller.
