Evaluation License
The wireless controller operates on evaluation mode when the device is not registered. The evaluation mode
is for 90 days. After the expiry of the evaluation period, if the wireless controller is not registered to a smart
account, the wireless controller will start displaying syslog evaluation expiration messages. These error
messages are purely for informational purpose only and will not affect the functionality of the wireless
controller.
The number of APs supported on the wireless controller when the wireless controller is on EVAL mode will
be equal to the capacity of the wireless controller and the wireless controller will be fully operational. No
other license is required to use the wireless controller in evaluation mode.
