"Hey everyone, I am evaluating whether to stretch the life of a Cisco 2504 controller at one of our sites by adding more AP capacity instead of replacing the hardware right away. The setup has been stable for years, but we have recently remodeled part of the building and now need a much larger wireless footprint. The LIC-CT2504-25A license seems like the fastest way to add twenty five additional AP slots,"
"Did the license installation process go smoothly using the PAK and controller interface, or did you need a firmware upgrade before the controller accepted it? After applying the license, did all twenty five APs join as expected or did you hit issues such as certificate mismatches, join retries or APs getting stuck in discovery? Once the controller was running with the expanded AP count, how did it perform under load?"
An environment currently using a Cisco 2504 needs a larger wireless footprint after building remodel and faces choice between adding AP capacity and replacing the controller. The LIC-CT2504-25A license offers twenty-five additional AP slots to increase capacity quickly. Concerns include potential need for firmware updates before license acceptance, AP join problems such as certificate mismatches or discovery failures, and controller performance under increased load including CPU and memory spikes. Additional worries include web UI, monitoring, and control responsiveness delays, and whether the upgrade meaningfully extends usable controller life versus hastening replacement.
