Wireless Access

Hi

I'm looking into purchasing some Aruba mobility controllers and access points.

Aruba's price list offers larger bundles of AP licences at a better price per AP.

If i had 8 controllers each managing 8 APs, would I be able to purchase a single 64AP licence bundle and apply one eighth of this bundle to each controller?

Thanks!

No, you cannot split licenses.   When you license a controller you match the Certificate ID sent from Aruba to the serial number of the controller; giving you an activation key (that is only valid on that controller).   You cannot split them up.  I suggest you talk to your local Aruba sales team or reseller about pricing.

Hi,
In Aruba OS 6.3 pooling licensing is available and you can split licenses between controllers in master-local setup.
For details check 6.3 User guide.

the answer to your question is basically a no but unless you are having 8 controllers in a Master-local environment where you can utilise Central licensing:-
