Switch License Capacity
The switch licenses are variable-capacity (see Table 27).
In Table 27, the total AP count is a combination of Campus AP count and Remote AP count.

Table 27: Switch AP Capacity
Licensing Best Practices and Limitations
n When calculating AP licenses, determine the normal AP load of your switch and add a backup load in case of
failure. A reasonable estimate when calculating user licenses is 20 users per AP. Do not forget to consider
occasional large assemblies or gatherings, and allow for the maximum quantity required at any given time.
n All active APs run AP, PEFNG and RFProtect services (if enabled). If your switch does not have equal
amounts of these licenses, the number of active APs are restricted to the lowest number of AP, PEFNG or
RFProtect licenses.
n If a Mesh node is configured for client service (for example, it advertises a BSSID ), it consumes one AP
license. Mesh nodes with no virtual APs do not consume an RFProtect license.
n Back up the switch’s configuration (backup flash command) and back up the license database (license
export filename) before making any changes.
(host) #backup flash
Please wait while we tar relevant files from flash...
Please wait while we compress the tar file...
Checking for free space on flash...
Copying file to flash...
File flashbackup.tar.gz created successfully on flash.
Please copy it out of the switch and delete it when done.
(host) #license export licensebackup.db
Successfully exported 1 licenses from the License Database to licensebackup.db
n Issuing the write erase all command resets the switch to factory default and deletes all databases on the
switch, including the license key management database. You must reinstall all previously-installed license
keys. Issuing the write erase command on a switch running software licenses does not affect the license
key management database on the switch. Rebooting or resetting a switch has no effect on a license.
