It may be best to work with your Aruba Partner to discuss the options. The most logical option would be to implement AOS 10 with Central, and in that case a controller (or gateway is the new name in AOS 10, but it's the same component) would have a subscription in Central but no other licenses. But there are more options, so best to work with your partner to pick the best one.

Subject: Transferring From Aruba Central To Mobility Controller
My organization is currently using aruba central to manage AP, switch and gateway.
They would like to consider using mobility controller to reduce use.
I know aruba central needs a license but does mobility controller need one and is it cheaper?
How to transfer devices being managed by aruba central to mobility controller?
