Licensing Information
The vSZ controller’s “Right to Use” (RTU) license comes with
one (1) instance license and one (1) AP Capacity license, which
is valid for 90 days from when the vSZ is first setup and must
be activated to be eligible for future software updates beyond
90 days. To manage more APs, you MUST purchase additional
AP Capacity licenses and they MUST be activated for them to
become valid.
Using the LiMAN (license management) portal on the Ruckus
Wireless Support website, you can assign licenses to or from a
SmartZone controller to another purchased SmartZone
controller (see a summary of LiMAN features in
Table 1 ). To
manage the distribution of licenses from the Support website
to the actual vSZ, connect the vSZ directly to the Internet.
NOTE: In the event that the vSZ is not connected to the
Internet, you can download the actual licenses from the
Support Portal and manually upload to the specific vSZ.
For step-by-step instructions on how to activate the vSZ’s
licenses, see
Step 5: Activate the vSZ’s Licenses .
To activate licenses on the vSZ controller, you will need the
following:

Windows Hyper-V
KVM Linux CentOS 7.0
NOTE : The vSZ supports either a single interface or three
interfaces. By default, a single interface exists after installation.
If you want the vSZ to use three interfaces, you must create the
two additional interfaces before powering on the vSZ. Once the
vSZ has completed its initial bootup, you will no longer be able to
change the number of interfaces.
