Licenses The wireless controller includes an built-in license to support up to 20 access points in 802.11a/b/g/n mode. You can purchase licenses in 10-access point increments (WC7510L) for support of up to 50 access points for a single wireless controller. To support 50 access points, you would need to purchase 3 WC7510L licenses; if you have three wireless controllers in a stack and want to support the maximum number of 150 access points, you would need to purchase 9 WC7510L licenses. Adding a redundant wireless controller also requires you to purchase licenses to support the required number of access points on the redundant wireless controller. Licenses are tied to the serial number of the wireless controller. For more information, see the License Configuration section in the datasheet at http://support.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/13060.
