Confused on WCS Licnese Upgrade

I have one WCS running 7.0.164.0
It has a "plus" (permananet) license for 50 APs
I need to increase my AP count, so I have obtained an additional licnese for 100 APs from Cisco.
When  I attempt to upload the new licnnese the WCS, I get an error telling me I must first have a Base License.
I would have thought that if the WCS initially came with a Plus license, then the Base License would already be included.
What am I missing ?

Dennis,
WCS licenses can't be mixed. The stacking would need to be happen in a certain order. In this case, since you already
have a PLUS license only PLUS licenses can be stacked on top of it. The right part for this would be WCS-PLUS-100 whereas you have been sold WCS-PLUS-UPG-100 (UPG is an upgrade license which goes only top of a BASE license). You would need to exchange this for the right number & then host the license to get it added to WCS.
Hope this Clarifies a bit.

  • Wcs license upgrade issue

    Dear all,
    We have two 4400 controllers which support 50 Access points each and wcs with 100 base license.Now we added 5508 controller supports 50 access points.wcs is upgraded with another 50 ap license.The 5508 controller is joined to wcs and the licence showing permanent.WCS showing all aps and showing both 100 and 50 licence as permanent.
    But the issue is while loging into the wcs it showing the error message as"The system is in violation of license.The number of APs registered is greater then licensed."
    What might be the reason.Please help me.
    Attaching the screen shot.
    Thanks in Advance
    Bose.

    Because your WCS is still licensed for 100 APs ....
    There are 2 license level : Base and PLUS.
    You had a 100 AP Base license.
    You bought a PLUS_UPG license which upgrade 50 out of your 100 AP count to PLUS.
    Result : you now have 100 AP licensed on WCS, out of which 50 have the "PLUS" feature set.
    You should have ordered a "BASE ap count 50" license. or if you want to go to plus, a "plus_UPG" license but for the 100, and then a plus ap count 50.

  • WCS base upgrade to PLUS license question

    I have a 50 AP base WCS running. What kind if license do I need to order to be able to do location? These two have the same price, but can I upgrade to 100 WPLUS from 50 BASE by ordering the second one?

    You would need an upgrade license to go from base to plus.

  • WCS Linux Upgrade

    I am trying to upgrade a Linux WCS and when I run the command in linux I get permission denied. I do not have alot of experience with the Linux operating system but assume I don't have rights run the command. I am logged in as the root user. Do I need to change the rights of the file to run it? What are the commands to change those rights.
    \Thanks in advance.....

    type ls -al
    You should see similiar the following:
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  root  300685722 Mar 12  2009 WCS-STANDARD-K9-6.0.58.0.bin (your version here)
    The 1st rwx is user read/write/execute, the next, r-x is group read & execute & and the last r-x is world (everyone) read & execute
    If not, you can simply type chmod u+x WCS-STANDARD-K9-6.0.58.0.bin and possibly g+x WCS-STANDARD-K9-6.0.58.0.bin to give executable access to the file.
    If you are in the same directory, add a ./ before the name of the file(no spaces)

  • WCS License Upgrade

    Dear All
    I am trying to upgrade a WCS running a plus license f 100 access point. with a base license of additional 50 access point.
    the base license is already purchase, is there any workaround to do this?
    please check attachment to see the error
    Thanks,
    Elie

    Hi,
    If WCS is licensed for the feature type - PLUS,  only PLUS licenses can be added.
    Whereas the license file you're trying to add is a BASE license which can't be stacked on top of a PLUS license. Hence the error reported by
    thus the error.
    For ex , WCS-PLUS-50 for plus while WCS-APBASE-50 is for base.

  • WCS/WLC upgrade options

    Hi,
    I'm currently running both a WCS appliance and a windows server WCS on version 4.2.62.11
    They are managing around 1000 AP's that are in a Hospital environment. They are using Vocera badges.
    The controllers are all running v4.2.61.0
    What are my best upgrade options for both WCS and the controllers? I'm looking for stability, improvements and fixes.

    We ran a pretty stable 4.0.217 for about a year with no big issues that I can remember. We started getting 1252s and needed to upgrade. We finally jumped in with 4.2.130 and had some pain. We started having issues with Vocera roaming, and Dell 1470/90 adapters had issues also. We've seen the following issues (CSCsm65043, CSCsi26248, CSCsi72578, CSCsq57697, CSCsu44970, CSCsr40109, CSCsv21441, and CSCsv21464). Some have been fixed in 4.2.173/176, but with the latest security advisory, it makes sense to run 4.2.176.
    With 19 pages of open caveats in 4.2.176, it's a crap shoot for sure, but probably the best you can do as it's a MD release. Also we have depreciated the Spectralink and only run 7921 and Vocera.

  • WCS/Redhat Upgrade Question

    Hello all,
    I recently migrated from the WLSE appliance to WCS Version 4.1.83.0 as well as Redhat Linux 4.0 (via the 2 CD's that were shipped). I would like to upgrade my WCS to the latest version (7.0), with the following upgrade path in mind:
    4.1.83.0
    to
    4.2.62.0
    to
    5.2.110.0
    to
    7.0.164.0
    My question is do I need to upgrade my Redhat to 5.0 Enterprise version as well in order to support this upgrade? My understanding is that the WLSE appliance is no longer an appliance and is now a full fledge WCS SERVER, in which case I do need to upgrade Redhat. If so, is Redhat 5.0 free to upgrade?
    Thanks for the help as always.
    Bobby Grewal

    Hi Bobby:
    Yes, in order to run WCS versions beyond 4.2, you'll need a Red Hat upgrade on a converted WLSE.  Because the conversion process brought Red Hat provided by Cisco, the converted WLSE is indeed an appliance (it's just not called that) and Cisco does indeed provide the Red Hat upgrade.  You can open a service request with TAC and they'll post the ISO image of the Red Hat upgrade CD for you, or give me your Cisco.com ID and I'll post it for you without an SR.
    As for your proposed upgrade path, if this was *my* WCS installation to address, I'd go:
    4.1.83.0 to 4.2.128.0 then run Data Cleanup
    4.2.128.0 to 6.0.181.0
    6.0.181.0 to 7.0.164.0
    Long and short, avoiding some bugs and letting 4.2 executables clean a 4.2 database before exiting the train, then bypassing 5.* altogether.

  • WCS Software upgrade on WLSE appliance

    Hi
    I am having difficulty upgrading the software code of WCS. We have a WLSE appliance that was upgraded to a WCS. I have downloaded the latest WCS software code (7.0.172) unto my PC. However, I do not know how to upgrade the WCS, since the WLSE is a stand alone appliance running on Linux and the WCS is just a GUI interface hosted from the WLSE appliance. Please how do I go about this upgrade. Thanks

  • HT201365 I recently upgraded my Ipadto 'iOS7', I carried out all the instructions,added a 4 digit code and after some confusion understood all the upgrades.

    I recently upgraded my Ipad to 'iOS 7' , after following the instructions and some confusion I added a 4 digit 'code' as requested. After getting used to all the new icons etc.the Ipad worked O.K.
    Later in the day when I switched it back on I was asked to enter my 'code' - which I thought I had done, but by mistake I entered my 'password'. after tapping 'done' the message ' iPAD Disabled' appeared.
    Please can anyone assist me? I am a OAP with limited computer experience.

  • Confused about eligibility for upgrade for iphone 6?

    So I am on a family plan, and have had my iphone 4 for almost 3 1/2 years now. We were looking to upgrade to new iphone 6 but then my dad said that they make you pay for your phone now, but I think that is for at&t next. Anyways, we are looking in to it again and now at&t has said that we are not eligible anymore for a phone at all? We are very frustrated and confused.e have waited over 2 years and how are we not eligible? Does not make sense. I was wondering for one 1. Is there still a 2 year contract plan where you can an iphone 6 for free or at a reduced price? 2. Why would we not be eligible anymore? Thanks I could use some help

    We have always paid for our phones. The cost of phones in the past was paid in part by the deposit we paid up front and the rest was included in a high line fee.
    2 year contracts have been discontinued in favor of the Next installment plan. You may still be able to upgrade with a 2 year contract, but only with ATT online and your phone will be mailed to you.
    For customers on the Mobile share value plan, the line fee if you enter a new 2 year contract is $40. In addition an upgrade fee of $40 and a deposit of $199-399 depending on which storage option for the iPhone 6.
    Customers who use Next have a discounted line fee of $25 or $15. Plus the installment on the phone.
    If you crunch the numbers you pay more on a 2 year contract than with Next.

  • Just a bit confused in regards to upgrading from Logic 5 - to Logic 7

    Hey all...
    So I was an avid Logic 5 user on an iBook G3... (or I had the "big box' of plat/gold - see how confused I am/was/is...?? HELP!!)
    SOmething happened and I had to wipe my hard drive on the iBook, and the new system I put on was OSX 10.3.9, and then when I re-installed Logic(x?) it just plain wouldn't run.... crashed all the time and sometimes never launch the app. When I bought it, I got it at Guitar Center and this was when emagic owned it. I have an XSKey and all the registration for it. So right when I thought I was getting somewhere, emagic sells it to Apple... blessing, but bittersweet, because I can't get anyone at Apple to help me out, other than saying I have to get the new one - and they will not run on my current computer.
    SO HERE IT IS; I have finally decided to ditch the iBook G3 and trump up to the basic G5 Tower, load it with at least 2GB's of RAM - and then I figured I could just buy the; Logic Pro 7 Upgrade from Logic Pro 6 or Logic Plat/Gold 5, 6 for $299.00 (and from what I have been reading on here also get the Logic Pro 7.2 Crossgrade for $49.00...)
    IS THIS WHAT I NEED...? Like I said before I have all the stuff from the Logic (emagic) and know its one of the above mentioned needed for the upgrade!...? And will this then bump me to Logic 7 Pro - Not Logic Express.....?? And is this a good thing or......
    I apologize for being so confused - but I'm so willing to get back into Logic that I'm actually buying new hardware, just to get back into producing!!
    The guys at the Apple store are helpful - but all look cross-eyed when I begin asking Logic (or any Pro application) questions.......
    Thanks in advance all!!
    *jeffrey

    The Big Box was Logic Silver (not Gold or Plat). That's a steeper upgrade.
    If what you bought was the 'Production Kit' that included an a/62m interface, then you have Gold.
    If what you truly have is Gold 5, you will get Logic PRO 7 for the $299. I don't know if that now includes 7.2 or if that's still an extra $49 (being that they're going to charge Shake users who paid 3k on it $49 while they drop the price to $500, I'd expect 7.2 to still cost ya).
    MBP 1.83 & MDD 1G DP   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Logic Pro 7.2.1, Motu 828MkII, LC&XT, Tranzport, Unitor8+(3x)AMT-8's

  • I'm getting a prompt that my Itunes is either not installed correctly or corrupted which is confusing because I just upgraded two days ago.

    I'm getting the message that my Itunes is either corrupt or not installed properly.  I tried to reinstall without unstalling, but that did not work.  I supposed my biggest fear is that if I uninstall my Itunes that I will lose all my songs, videos, apps, etc.  Help!! 
    I had upgraded within the last day or two and had not been on my laptop until this evening.  Of course, I really need to access my Itunes music for a work project.

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • WCS licence upgrade issues

    Hi,
    My wcs current version is 6.0.196.0 with 50 aps licence.This licence was applied when wcs with 4.1.91.1 version which was base licence.Now with 6.0.196.0 vesion its showing as plus licence.I have to add another 50 plus licence to the existing wcs.But i am unable to add 50 plus because base licence is transformed to plus licence.Its is giving commant that you need base licence to add plus licence.
                  please help to come out of this mess........
    Thanks in advance

    Most likely your original license was "BASE+LOCATION" which now became PLUS.
    Anyway, I'm not sure what is the current problem. If your only license is a PLUS, you need to buy an ap-count license for PLUS.
    You can't mix base and plus.
    Maybe a screenshot of your license screen ?

  • Confused???Upgraded Zen Micro software or not?

    Bought Zen Mirco 2 weeks ago for my daughter and brother but the battery life is short.So i told them not a problem coz we can download the new upgrade software from creative.But after reading the problem of still being the same should i download it or not?
    What is the actual play time for the player?Thought it was 2hrs.
    My eldest girl had the Neeon and the battery life is so much better than Mirco.
    My mum is using Muvo Mirco N200 with AAA battery and is the BEST.

    Well i am running all the latest software updates and my micro (currently about 4 months old or so) is working great.
    battery life depends on loads of diferent factors in no particular order bitrate of songs, how long you fiddle around with it/if the backlight stays on for heaps it will waste battery how loud is the music what sort of music etc etc etc
    If you are curretnly on a .xx.xx firmware and upgrade to a 2.xx.xx firmware you will need to reload all your songs.
    Be very aware of that before upgrading.
    Anyway to check whats available
    Plug your micro into your PC
    Connect to the internet
    go to this URL :
    http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/su.asp
    It will check all the available updates for your device
    Hope this hel
