Prior to AOS version 6.3.0.0, the administrator had to install licenses on individual controller to avail any features like bringing up an AP, customizing roles, policies and firewall option, Intrusion protection etc. With AOS version 6.3.0.0, a new concept called “centralized licensing” was introduced to simplify the license management on controllers and make it more robust.When Centralized License is enabled on the controllers, licenses installed on one controller can be shared by all other controllers in the cluster. One controller is designated as a License Server that acts as consolidated database and hold the license information from all other controllers in the cluster. All the other controllers act as license clients.Here is how client controllers share their license information with License server:
Keep in mind, the following license are not part of the centralized licensing:
Centralized licensing support following topologies:
NOTE: Local Controllers do not have the capability to act as a License server.
