    Thanks

    You cannot install Aruba licenses on Alcatel controllers or vice versa. That is because the licenses are bound to the serial number, and you can only request Aruba licenses to controllers with a valid serial number.

     

    Some customers reported that the APs will connect to an Aruba controller and that ArubaOS software can be installed on the controller in lab situations, however, this is explicitly unsupported, thus not recommended.

     

    Please work with your local partner or Aruba sales team to find a proper solution.
