Licensing Information
The SmartZone 300 (SZ300) comes pre-shipped with 10,000
temporary AP Capacity Licenses, which are valid for a period of 90
days from when the SZ300 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 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
support.ruckuswireless.com/activate
.
Using the LiMAN (license management) portal on the Support
website, you can assign licenses to or from a SZ300 or move them
to another SZ300 (see a summary of LiMAN features in the table
below). To physically manage the distribution of licenses from the
Support website to the actual SZ300, connect the SZ300 directly
to the Internet.
NOTE: In the event that the SZ300 is not connected to the
Internet, you can download the actual licenses from the
Support Portal and manually upload to the specific SZ300.

Warning Message for Missing AP Support
Capacity License
Starting in SmartZone release 3.2, the feature “Warning Message”
is introduced to notify you if Support for AP Capacity Licenses has
not been purchased.
This is a warning only in SmartZone 3.2 with full enforcement
occurring in a later release. This warning will only be displayed
when you try to upgrade to a release beyond SZ 3.2 (i.e. SZ 3.2.1).
The message is purely informational and does not affect your
ability to upgrade nor does it impact your service in any way. In
order to upgrade your network, without any warning messages,
you will need to have both a Controller Support Contract and
Support on the AP Licenses as well.
For more information on purchasing of a Support for AP License,
contact your Wireless Sales representative.
