L-LIC-CTVM-5A

The L-LIC-CTVM-5A is a Cisco license specifically designed to unlock additional functionalities on Cisco Virtual Wireless Controllers (vWLCs). Here's a breakdown of its key purpose:

Function: Cisco Virtual Wireless Controller (vWLC) Access Point (AP) Adder License

• Increases AP Management Capacity: This license increases the number of Access Points (APs) a single vWLC can manage. The "5A" in the code likely indicates it adds support for 5 additional APs.
• Unlocks vWLC Potential: Without this license, a Cisco vWLC might have a limited number of APs it can manage by default. The L-LIC-CTVM-5A unlocks the ability to manage more APs, expanding your wireless network's capacity.

Typical Use Case:

This license is ideal for scenarios where you need to expand your existing wireless network managed by a vWLC. Here are some common situations:

• Growing Network: If your business or organization is adding more devices and requires increased Wi-Fi coverage, you might need to add more APs. This license allows your existing vWLC to handle those additional APs without needing to purchase another physical controller.
• Large Deployments: For large deployments with numerous access points, you might need multiple L-LIC-CTVM-5A licenses to incrementally increase the manageable AP count on your vWLC.

Additional Considerations:

• Specific vWLC Compatibility: This license might be compatible with specific Cisco vWLC models only. It's crucial to check the compatibility information for the L-LIC-CTVM-5A with your vWLC model before purchase.
• Software Version: Compatibility might also depend on the software version running on your vWLC. Ensure your vWLC software is up-to-date for seamless license integration.
• Not a Standalone Product: The L-LIC-CTVM-5A is a software license and not a physical product. You'll need a Cisco vWLC to utilize this license.
