Wireless Access

Hi,

I can't activate access points because it seems a MC-VA license is required. I used to have a virtual MC, but it is not running and I deleted it from the Managed Network. 

Now, the evaluation licences expired and I can't activate my APs. How can I disable the MC-VA FeatureBit or how can I see what is using this license?

Are you running with a Mobility Master? If so, please check the 'show license-usage' (without the ap) to see where the licenses are needed.

A physical controller should not consume any MC-VA licenses. You might try to delete the expired licenses to see if that fixes your issue.

For license issues that you can't quickly fix yourself you can contact Aruba TAC and in my experience they will help you to find the issue and a solution.
