Overview of Smart Licensing Support
Smart licensing for access point running in URWB mode supports the following scenarios:

Smart license management provides a seamless experience with the various aspects of licensing.
-
License level controls the features by essential, advantage, and premier mode.
-
IoT specific seats will cache a device list in the mobility scenario and seats reserves some license usage which is the expected maximum number of devices in the managed network.
-
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.
-
You should configure same license level on both primary and secondary Layer 2 ME (Mesh End) or Layer 3 Global Gateway (GGW).
Note |
Ensure you to sync up the device for correct time with NTP server to establish connection with SSM successfully. |
