Subject: Unlicensed AP after controller firmware upgrade
Hi,
I tried to upgrade my Aruba controller 7205 firmware from 8.9 to 8.11 but after the successful upgrade, all AP becomes Unlicensed (L).
I tried to test 1 AP to preload 8.11 firmware the reboot it, but still the 8.11 AP is Unlicensed. I checked the Licenses tab and the license is still there but no AP is using it.
I read the release notes of 8.11 before I upgrade and it is compatible with my controller 7205 and AP505, AP575.
I have no choice but to reboot the controller to my old firmware 8.9 and it works fine even in my AP505 with 8.11 firmware.
Thank you.
