How do I activate the license included in a bundle kit (WC7660SKT)?
If you purchased a WC7600 wireless controller as a bundle with pre-assigned licences (e.g. WC7660SKT), you have to retrieve them from the NETGEAR licencing server to activate them.
Procedure:
Get Internet connection working:
First, before you start, the wireless controller must have a working internet connection.
To achiveve this, make sure that DNS Server and Default Gateway addresses for your network are set correctly on the controller, under Configuration >> System >> IP/VLAN :
You can verify that the connection is working with the Diagnostics >> Ping page. Try to ping netgear.com, for example.
To retreive the licences that are assigned to your WC7600: (WC7660SKT)
- Log into your controller, and go to Maintenance >> Licencing >> Licence >> Advanced in the interface:
- Press the Replace button.
- The key(s) should populate and Key Status should come up as Registered and will also show up on the Inventory tab as well.
Notes:
- The controller comes with a 2 Access Point (AP) evaluation licence, so you can test the system, but that evaluation licence will expire when you apply the first purchased licence.
- You can apply up to 50 AP licences per controller, Licenses come in 10 or 50 AP packs. Also, you can stack 3 controllers to control up to 150 APs, when fully licenced.
- If your WC7600 is replaced under warranty by Netgear, you can use this same process to retrieve your licences on the replacement unit.
