    Does Airwave count a Cisco switch stack as one device or as many devices that are present in the stack for licensing purposes...Thanks

    Each physical device consumes a license.  Each physical switch= single license.

    Well, this does surprises me. I have always been convinced that 1 LIC-AW covers 1 managed ip, so 1 switch stack should consume only 1 LIC-AW, not each physical switch.

     

    Here is a quote form AirWave 8.2.2 Release Notes

    "Licensing in AirWave
    When you add switches to a stack, one AirWave license covers the switch stack. You can verify your license count
    by navigating to AMP > Home > License."

    Hi mzachar,

     

    Yes, you are right. This is a new feature introduced in 8.2.2. I.e. the whole stack consumes only one license. Prior to that as Colin mentioned each physical device consumes a license i.e. each switch consumed one license.
