Questions & Answers
What is the L-LIC-CTIOS-1A AP Add-On License?
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.
Which Cisco controllers support the AP Add-On License?
This license is compatible with Cisco 3504, 5520, and 8540 Wireless LAN Controllers running Cisco IOS 15.x or later.
How many additional access points does each license add?
Each L-LIC-CTIOS-1A license adds one extra access point to your controller’s licensed capacity.
Is the AP Add-On license perpetual or subscription-based?
The L-LIC-CTIOS-1A license is perpetual, with no recurring fees, and remains valid for the life of the controller.
Do I need a support contract to use the license?
While the license itself is perpetual, Cisco SMARTnet or equivalent support is recommended for ongoing updates and technical assistance.
How do I install the AP Add-On license on my controller?
Upload the Cisco license file to the controller GUI or CLI, then execute the “license install” command and reboot the controller to activate.
How long does it take to activate the license?
License activation is immediate once the file is installed and the controller is rebooted, typically within 5–10 minutes.
Can I combine multiple AP Add-On licenses on one controller?
Yes. You can stack multiple L-LIC-CTIOS-1A licenses to incrementally increase your controller’s AP capacity.
How do I verify my current licensed access point count?
Use the controller CLI command “show license summary” or check the GUI dashboard under License Management for real-time counts.
What happens if I exceed my licensed AP count?
Any APs beyond your licensed count will be blocked from joining the controller until you install additional AP Add-On licenses.
Can I transfer the AP Add-On license to another controller?
Yes. You can unregister the license from one controller and install it on another, provided your support contract remains active.
Does the license require a specific IOS feature set?
No additional feature set is required; the AP Add-On license works with standard Cisco IOS wireless features on supported controllers.
How is the license delivered after purchase?
After ordering, Cisco or your reseller provides a PAK or electronic entitlement certificate with instructions to download the license file.
Can I upgrade from a base license without downtime?
Yes. Installing an AP Add-On license requires only a controller reboot, which can be scheduled during maintenance windows to minimize impact.
Is TAC support included with the AP Add-On license?
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support is not included by default but is available separately through Cisco SMARTnet contracts.
Where can I find detailed installation instructions?
Comprehensive installation and troubleshooting guides are available on Cisco’s official website under the Wireless Controller Licensing documentation.
