Converged Access MA and MC licensing

[marek.golha]

Hello all,

one question regarding the licensing for converged access. If I understand it correctly then when I have a deployment in which I already have a WLC (mobility controller) and I deploy a 3650/3850 switch as a mobility agent, then the AP count licensing needs to be maintained on the MC (WLC) and I dont need AP count licences on the MA (3650/3850)?

Then the only thing I need is to point the MA to the MC IP address and I gain the benefits of converged access architecture (CAPWAP termination ...)?

Thank you.

I probably found the answer in this document:

Q. Do I need a wireless access point license on both the mobility agent and the mobility controller?

A. The license to manage access points is only needed on the mobility controller.
