Licensing Information
The SmartZone 300 (SZ300) comes pre-shipped with 10,000
temporary AP Capacity Licenses, which are valid for a period
of 90 days from when the SZ300 is configured via the initial
setup configuration. For operation beyond 90 days, you
MUST buy permanent AP Capacity licenses. The purchased
Licenses MUST be activated for them to become valid.
The management of the AP Capacity Licenses and the ability
to activate the permanent License will be through the Ruckus
Wireless Support Portal (https://support.ruckuswireless.com).
An email will be sent to the User that is identified on the
Purchase Order and full instructions as to how to activate the
Licenses is included in the email. As a guide, full instructions
can be found at https://support.ruckuswireless.com/activate.
Using the LiMAN (license management) portal on the Ruckus
Wireless Support website, you can assign licenses to or from

a SZ300 or move them to another SZ300 (see a summary of
LiMAN features in the table below). To physically manage the
distribution of licenses from the Support website to the actual
SZ300, connect the SZ300 directly to the Internet.
NOTE: In the event that the SZ300 is not connected to the
Internet, you can download the actual licenses from the
Support Portal and manually upload to the specific SZ300.

Warning Message for Missing AP Support
Capacity License
Starting in SmartZone release 3.2, Ruckus Wireless has
introduced a "Warning Message" feature to notify you if
Support for AP Capacity Licenses has not been purchased.
This is a warning only in SmartZone 3.2 with full enforcement
occurring in a later release. This warning will only be displayed
when you try to upgrade to a release beyond SZ 3.2 (i.e. SZ
3.2.1).
The message is purely informational and does not affect your
ability to upgrade nor does it impact your service in any way.
In order to upgrade your network, without any warning
messages, you will need to have both a Controller Support
Contract and Support on the AP Licenses as well.
For more information on purchasing of a Support for AP
License, contact your Wireless Ruckus Sales representative.
