Licensing Information

The SZ100 comes pre-shipped with 1000 temporary AP Capacity

Licenses, which are valid for a period of 90 days from when the

SZ100 is configured via the initial setup configuration. For

operation beyond 90 days, you MUST buy permanent AP Capacity

licenses. The purchased Licenses MUST be activated for them to

become valid.
The management of the AP Capacity Licenses and the ability to

activate the permanent License will be through the RUCKUS

Support Portal (https://support.ruckuswireless.com). An email

will be sent to the User that is identified on the Purchase Order

and full instructions as to how to activate the Licenses is included

in the email. As a guide, full instructions can be found at https://

support.ruckuswireless.com/activate.
Using the LiMAN (license management) portal on the RUCKUS

Support website, you can assign licenses to or from a SZ100 or

move them to another SZ100 (see a summary of LiMAN features

in 

Table 1

). To physically manage the distribution of licenses from

the Support website to the actual SZ100, do one of the following:
• Connect the SZ100 directly to the Internet.
• Deploy a RUCKUS Local License Server (LLS) within your

network. The LLS must be able to communicate with your

SZ100 and it must be connected to the Internet.
– LLS should first synchronize with the license server in the

cloud to get the required license (as per the SZ100 serial

number)

– Remove licenses from one SZ100 to add to another

NOTE: NOTE: In the event that the SZ100 is not connected to

the Internet and you have not deployed an LLS, you can

download the actual licenses from the Support Portal and

manually upload to the specific SZ100.

For step-by-step instructions on how to activate the SZ100’s

licenses, see 

Step 5: Activate the SZ100’s Licenses

 on page 3.

NOTE: The default temporary switch licenses is 100 per node,

and 90 days for the temporary switch license period.
