License Migration Guidelines

The license migration provisions and guidelines aim to facilitate a smooth transition and ensure uninterrupted service for our valued users.

License Migration Expiration

The device-based licensing structure supported for RUCKUS IoT Controller releases prior to 2.2.0.0 expired at the end of March 2024, at which time only the RUCKUS Container per Access Point (RCAP) licensing model became supported.

An active support license is required to facilitate migration to RUCKUS IoT Controller release 2.2.0.0 or later.

License Migration Provisions (IoT Release 1.x to Release 2.2 or 2.2.1)

For each licensed AP that is supported on a release 1.x IoT controller and has a valid support contract, the following provisions are offered.

  • Two IOT-SOPM-RCAP-MSP1 licenses will be provided.
  • A Right to Use (RTU) license for the new IoT controller will be granted on a one-to-one basis for the existing IoT controllers.
  • The duration of the RCAP license will be extended based on the status of the support contract on the release 1.x IoT platform to ensure continuity of availability.

License Migration Provisions (IoT Release 2.x to Releases 2.2.x and Later)

For every AP added to the IoT controller, the following provisions are offered.

  • Two IOT-SOPM-RCAP-MSP1 licenses will be provided.
  • A screenshot demonstrating the licensed controller and its associated APs onboarded and provisioned, along with the License page displaying a minimum of one device per AP onboarded.
  • The new RCAP licenses will align with the duration of the existing term of the installed device licenses, and coverage will extend beyond the current Controller Device License Termination Date.
    Note: For more details on the RCAP license, refer to Licensing Model Beginning with RUCKUS IoT Controller 2.2.0.0 and Later Releases.
