Mar 18, 2013 - Solved: Are you serious?????? You have to reboot the controller after installing AP and PEF licenses? We have 2 AIR-CT5508-K9 Controllers with both a license for 100 AP. I want to add in both an extra license of 100AP. My question is, if i purchase these license can i just add them in the controllers using MANAGEMENT-> Software activation-> Commands -> install license.
See the output of the show license summary. How do I activate the license for 12 AP's? Looks like you bought a base license not an adder license. Edit: Mine also shows up as a base license. From the Action drop-down list, choose Install License.
The Install license from a file section appears. In the File Name to Install text box, enter the path to the license (.lic) on the TFTP server. Click Install License. A message appears to show whether the license was installed successfully. If the installation fails, the message provides the reason for the failure, such as the license is an existing license, the path was not found, the license does not belong to this device, you do not have correct permissions for the license, and so on. If the end-user license agreement (EULA) acceptance window appears, read the agreement and click Accept to accept the terms of the agreement.
Note Typically you are prompted to accept the end-user license agreement (EULA) for evaluation, extension, and rehost licenses. The EULA is also required for permanent licenses, but it is accepted during license generation. Reboot the controller. To view license count view GUI: Choose MANAGEMENT Software Activation licenses The licenses are cumulative.

Hello, You can order Cisco 5500 Series Controllers with support for 12, 25, 50, 100, 250 or 500 APs as the controller's base capacity. You can add additional AP capacity through capacity adder licenses available at 25, 50, 100 and 250 AP capacities. You can add the capacity adder licenses to any base license in any combination to arrive at the maximum capacity of 500 APs. The base and adder licenses are supported through both rehosting and Return Material Authorizations (RMAs). Note: A 5500 Series WLC with a base license of 12 can only support up to 487 total APs because only 25, 50, 100, and 250 adder licenses are supported.
I am planning to upgrade the cisco 5508 wireless lan controller software from 8.2.111.0 to 8.3.102.0 Reading through the instructions on steps to upgrade in release notes I came across this; Note: - In Release 8.3.102.0, for Cisco 2504 WLC, Cisco 5508 WLC, and Cisco WiSM2, the Cisco WLC software image is split into two images: the Base Install image and the Supplementary AP Bundle image. Therefore, to upgrade to Release 8.3.102.0, repeat Step 2 through Step 14 to complete the installation of both the Base Install image and the Supplementary AP Bundle image. Download the Supplementary AP Bundle image only if you are using any of these APs: AP802, Cisco Aironet 1550 Series AP (with 64-MB memory), Cisco Aironet 1550 Series AP (with 128-MB memory), and/or Cisco Aironet 1570 Series APs. For more information, see the “Changes in Images and Installation Procedure for Cisco 2504 WLC, Cisco 5508 WLC, and Cisco WiSM2” section.
