License Co-Termination

[GavinMcMenemy]

Hey Guys, 

I've never got my head around license co-termination. 

I've received some new devices for a new network. We move one of our offices to a new site in about 2 weeks. 

We will be using some of the devices on the original site in the new, we will be deploying some new gear (some new APs and a new firewall) and Cisco have asked for for the old APs to be returned.

How is co-termination handled in this situation?

I have the license keys for the new gear and my understanding is that if I add the new APs to my inventory they APs were about to return will be included in the license termination. I don't want to license the devices that I'm returning at all,  nor do I want them to have an affect on the new devices.

Yours confused etc...

Cisco support can help ensure licenses are applied correctly and old devices don’t interfere.

AP licenses aren't model specific. Switches and Security Appliances licenses are model specific (for the most part).

So, as long as you have enough wireless licenses to cover the AP quantity you should be fine.

It would be helpful to know more detail about your current license status and what license key(s) you have in hand that you've not applied yet. That would provide the clearest picture of what your intended end state is.
