Licensing
5520 wireless LAN controller supports Right to Use (RTU) licensing model similar to the Cisco Flex 7500 and Cisco 8500 series
controllers. This is an Honor-based licensing scheme that allows AP licenses to be enabled on supported controllers with End User
License Agreement (EULA) acceptance. The RTU license scheme simplifies addition, deletion, or the transfer of AP adder licenses
in the field by eliminating the need for an additional step, additional tools, or access to Cisco.com for PAK license or return materials
authorization (RMA) transfers.
Evaluation licenses are valid for 90 days. Notifications will be generated to inform you to buy a permanent license starting 15 days
prior to the evaluation license expiration.
If you have more APs connected than those purchased, the licensing status for the controller tracked within the Cisco Prime Infrastructure
will turn red.
For more information on the RTU License model, refer to the Cisco Right to Use Licensing (RTU) document.
Smart Licensing is also available, for more information refer to http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/technology/mesh/8-2/

License Types
These are the three license types:
• Permanent licenses—The AP count is programmed into NVM while manufacturing. These licenses are transferable.
• Adder access point count licenses—Can be activated through the acceptance of the EULA. These licenses are transferable.
• Evaluation licenses—Used for demo and/or trial periods, are valid for 90 days, and default to the full capacity of the controller.
The evaluation license can be activated at any time using a CLI command.
