Licensing Information
The SZ100 comes pre-shipped with 1000 temporary AP
Capacity Licenses, which are valid for a period of 90 days
from when the SZ100 is congured via the initial setup
conguration. For operation beyond 90 days, you MUST
buy permanent AP Capacity licenses. The purchased
Licenses MUST be activated for them to become valid.
The management of the AP Capacity Licenses and the
ability to activate the permanent License will be through
the Ruckus Support Portal (https://
support.ruckuswireless.com). An email will be sent to the
User that is identied on the Purchase Order and full
instructions as to how to activate the Licenses is included
in the email. As a guide, full instructions can be found at
https://support.ruckuswireless.com/activate.
Using the LiMAN (license management) portal on the
Ruckus Support website, you can assign licenses to or
from a SZ100 or move them to another SZ100 (see a
summary of LiMAN features in Table 1). To physically
manage the distribution of licenses from the Support
website to the actual SZ100, do one of the following:
• Connect the SZ100 directly to the Internet.
• Deploy a Ruckus Local License Server (LLS) within your
network. The LLS must be able to communicate with
your SZ100 and it must be connected to the Internet.
– LLS should rst synchronize with the license server in
the cloud to get the required license (as per the
SZ100 serial number)
– Remove licenses from one SZ100 to add to another
NOTE: NOTE: In the event that the SZ100 is not
connected to the Internet and you have not deployed
an LLS, you can download the actual licenses from the
Support Portal and manually upload to the specic
SZ100.
For step-by-step instructions on how to activate the
SZ100’s licenses, see Step 5: Activate the SZ100’s Licenses
on page 3.
