Otherwise, your account team or TAC can help. With some effort, we were even able to get codes to migrate “burned-in” licenses when we retires some of your controllers. All the licenses on out M3 controllers moved to our current 7220s.

So, if I had 100x 7005 controllers and I wanted to collapse their capacity into a single 7240 controller, I can do that? Is there a 'license reclamation' command or something that I do on the 100 units to decommission them or something? I see there is a command for re-hosting licenses in an RMA situation, but it's unclear that this is supported between platforms of differing capacities... Has anyone done this that can share their experiences? -Sam On Mon, Mar 7, 2016 at 6:47 AM, Osborne, Bruce W (Network Services) <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Let me just mention that with Aruba, licenses transfer to new hardware without any issue No need to repurchase or “negotiate a transfer”.

Having said that, Jake is spot on. If you're doing an Apples to Oranges cost comparison (WLC AP licenses vs Cisco One), the numbers don't work out. If you use (or are planning to use) Prime Infrastructure, MSE, WLC, and ISE, the cost between buying all of these things a la carte vs Cisco One is basically a wash. The return on your investment is when you buy your next WLC, you pay for the hardware only and it becomes very attractive at that point. Your VAR should be able to help you navigate those different costing comparisons. HTH! -Sam On Sun, Mar 6, 2016 at 10:22 AM, Jake Snyder <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: There are cost savings to be had. There is currently a promo when moving to new 5520 or 8540 hardware that is very compelling. That said, brownfield where you are just migrating from standard licensing to C1 on the existing hardware doesn't make a lot of sense unless you want to add features. ISE, MSE/CMX, Prime Assurance... Ultimately it's going to depend on where you are in the lifecycle process. You should totally ping your Cisco Partner and have them run the numbers for you, so you can see what the right thing to do is.

I am not very familiar with the product so I thought I would ask the Educause community for any input and see if it is very widely used and valued. One scenario I was presented with is that perpetual licensing would save us from re-purchasing Access Point licensing when we upgrade to newer (hardware) controllers. When we upgraded from 5508's to 8510's we managed to negotiate a transfer of our existing licenses at no cost but that is not a guarantee for the next upgrade.
