Install Access Point Licenses on the Switch

For ease of use, an evaluation license is preinstalled on your switch, but you are required to accept the
End-User-License Agreement (EULA) before the 90-day period expires.
The IP Base and IP Services image-based licenses support wireless functionality. The minimum license

When a new member is added to the stack that has an existing AP-count license, then the total
available AP-count license for the switch stack is automatically recalculated.
When members are removed from the stack, the total AP-count license is decremented from the total
available AP-count license in the stack.
