is valid for 90 days from when the vSZ is first setup and must
be activated to be eligible for future software updates beyond
90 days. To manage more APs, you MUST purchase additional
AP Capacity licenses and they MUST be activated for them to
become valid.

hypervisor.
See the vSZ Getting Started Guide for more information.
Step 2: Power On the vSZ Virtual Machine

change the number of interfaces.
After you power on the vSZ virtual machine, select the vSZ

configure the controller's network interface (or interfaces).
