The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The following table summarizes the new and changed features and tells you where they are documented.

License Consumption Report Upload Support for Cisco AireOS Controllers |
Cisco AireOS Controllers don't recognize Cisco DNA Center licenses and Network licenses and therefore can't send license utilization details directly to Cisco SSM. If you register Cisco DNA Center to a specific smart account and virtual account in Cisco SSM, Cisco DNA Center uploads the license utilization details on behalf of Cisco AireOS Controllers to Cisco SSM. |
