    We have configured Aruba Controller with 7 AP long time back and everything was working smoothly until last week. after that there is no SSID broadcasting.
    We are using RADIUS server for the authentication and i checked the connectivity between RADIUS server and Controller working perfectly. Please find the below screenshot.

    Looks like you lost your licenses. Could it be that you installed evaluation licenses, and those expired?

    Please check your installed licenses.

    Is this missing license will be a reason for the SSID broadcasting issue?

    Likely, if your PEF (Firewall Roles) is expired/lost, your AP licenses may have gone for the same reason. Without AP licenses on the controller, the AP will not broadcast any SSID.

    Did you check your licenses?

    PEF license status is expired. But AP status is up and running.

    What is your AP license status? It can be that the configuration is invalid if you used PEF features.

    The 'show log all' on the controller should probably tell you why APs are down or not broadcasting. Message in the wizard shows that you should use the normal configuration tools to fix the profiles. If you have an Aruba partner or access to Aruba Support, it is best to let them do this, as it is relatively simple to fix if you know how the controller works and if there is interactive access to the controller, but it is hard or impossible to do from a screenshot.
