Much can be done at https://licensing.arubanetworks.com

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.

That is very cool - I didn't know you could do that! 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?

Let me just mention that with Aruba, licenses transfer to new hardware without 
any issue No need to repurchase or “negotiate a transfer”.

Full disclosure, I work for a VAR that sells Cisco gear. 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.

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've recently been asked if we could benefit from Cisco One for wireless 
licensing. 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.

Appreciate any feedback.
