1. License Key
If you need an updated license (for example, if you are upgrading an AP
to a new major release—say, from 7.0 to 7.1, and you are not using XMS to
perform network-wide updates), you may obtain one through Auto-
provisioning. See “Configuration Management” on page 415.
If you need to enter a new license key manually, use the License Key field
to enter it, then click the Apply button to the right.
A valid license is required for AP operation, and it controls the features
available on the AP. If you upgrade your AP for additional features, you
will be provided with a license key to activate those capabilities.

configuration of the AP. See Step 3 on page 416.

and the current key will not be replaced.

license keys.
Trial licenses: If you enter a trial license to try new premium features, then
when the trial expires the perpetual license will be restored automatically
without requiring a reboot. When the trial expires, the current AP
configuration will not be lost.
