Step 5: Activate the SZ-100’s Licenses

After you set up the SZ-100 and verify that wireless clients are 
able to associate with managed APs successfully, you need to 
activate and assign the AP and Tunnel Licenses using the 
LiMAN (license management) portal on the Ruckus Wireless 
Support site.

Before You Begin

You must have a Ruckus Support portal account (including 
user name and password). You can use this account to access 
general Support site content including software upgrades, 
knowledge base articles and technical documents. 

If you do not have a Support portal account, you will be 
required to register one before continuing with your product 
and license activation.

Every capacity and support license that you have purchased 
will have its own unique activation code and each must be 
activated for the license to become valid. You will receive the 
activation code in a separate Support Purchase 
Acknowledgment (SPA) email for each license/support license.

Depending on the product, you may receive up to three (3) 
different SPA emails for all of your licenses. The first three 
characters of the activation code indicate the license type to 
which the code is applicable.
