Verify Ap-Count License Installation; Purpose - Cisco Catalyst 3850 Manual

Converged Wired and Wireless Access

You can activate permanent RTU licenses after you accept the EULA. The EULA assumes you have
purchased the permanent license. Use AP-count adder type licenses to activate access point licenses. The
adder AP-Count license is an "add as you grow" license. You can add access point licenses as your
network grows. You activate an adder AP-count license by using EXEC commands, and it is activated
without a switch reload.
Activate a permanent access point license and accept the EULA.
Step 1
Access point licenses are configured for permanent or for evaluation purposes. To prevent disruptions in
operation, the switch does not change licenses when an evaluation license expires. You get a warning
that your evaluation license will expire and you must disable the evaluation license and purchase a
permanent one.
We recommend that you purchase and activate a permanent license and accept the EULA to avoid an
untimely expiration.
The following examples activate 10 access point licenses on member 1 and 15 on member 2.

For more information about RTU licenses, see the
System Management Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS SE Release 3E.

Verify the RTU license summary details.
Step 3
The example shows that a permanent IP Services license is installed and is available upon switch reboot:
Five AP-count licenses are in use.
If more access points are connected that exceed the total number of accepted AP-count licenses, a
syslog warning message is sent without disconnecting the newly connected access points until a
stack reload.
After a stack reload, the newly connected access points are removed from the total access point
count.
