At the time of adoption, access points and adaptive access points are provided license by the
adopting controller. These license packs can be installed on both the NOC and site controllers.
When a AP/AAP is adopted by a controller, the controller pushes a license on to the device. At this
point the various possible scenarios are:
• AP/AAP license packs installed on the NOC controller only.
The NOC controller provides the site controllers with the AP licenses, ensuring that per
platform limits are not exceeded.
• AP/AAP license packs installed on the NOC and site controllers.
The site controller uses its installed licenses and, in case of a shortage, the site controller
borrows additional licenses from the NOC. If the NoC controller is unable to allocate
sufficient licenses, the site controller unadopts some of the AP/AAPs.
• AP/AAP license packs installed on one controller within a cluster.
The site controller shares its installed and borrowed licenses with other cluster controllers.
