The L-LIC-CTIOS-1A is a perpetual AP Add-On License for Cisco IOS-based Wireless LAN Controllers that enables one additional access point per license.
This license is compatible with Cisco 3504, 5520, and 8540 Wireless LAN Controllers running Cisco IOS 15.x or later.
Each L-LIC-CTIOS-1A license adds one extra access point to your controller’s licensed capacity.
The L-LIC-CTIOS-1A license is perpetual, with no recurring fees, and remains valid for the life of the controller.
While the license itself is perpetual, Cisco SMARTnet or equivalent support is recommended for ongoing updates and technical assistance.
Upload the Cisco license file to the controller GUI or CLI, then execute the “license install” command and reboot the controller to activate.
License activation is immediate once the file is installed and the controller is rebooted, typically within 5–10 minutes.
Yes. You can stack multiple L-LIC-CTIOS-1A licenses to incrementally increase your controller’s AP capacity.
Use the controller CLI command “show license summary” or check the GUI dashboard under License Management for real-time counts.
Any APs beyond your licensed count will be blocked from joining the controller until you install additional AP Add-On licenses.
Yes. You can unregister the license from one controller and install it on another, provided your support contract remains active.
No additional feature set is required; the AP Add-On license works with standard Cisco IOS wireless features on supported controllers.
After ordering, Cisco or your reseller provides a PAK or electronic entitlement certificate with instructions to download the license file.
Yes. Installing an AP Add-On license requires only a controller reboot, which can be scheduled during maintenance windows to minimize impact.
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support is not included by default but is available separately through Cisco SMARTnet contracts.
Comprehensive installation and troubleshooting guides are available on Cisco’s official website under the Wireless Controller Licensing documentation.
