-
The platform can specify the number of license seats reserved. The system reports the higher value between the reserved license count and the actual licenses consumed. You can specify the number of purchased licenses for a deployment to avoid triggering a reporting event as the number fluctuates, provided that it remains equal to or less than the number of seats reserved.
-
Smart transport mode connects to smart software manager (SSM) (formerly it was CSSM) directly to sync license usage.
-
Airgap mode uses the downloaded file to sync with SSM manually.
-
All radio devices in URWB mode (such as Catalysts IW9167E and IW9165) in the same URWB network require the same license level. This license level is set globally at the Mesh End or Global Mesh end. The license levels for gateways is configured independently on each gateway. It can be configured at a different level than the radio devices in the network.
