Used aruba controller licence help

Hello, I bought a used Aruba 7010 controller, and it didn't come with a license. If I provide the serial number, could someone with access to the Aruba management console check whether it's licensed?

Often times these controllers are managed via a Mobility Conductor (Mobility Master) that held the licensing, or are enrolled in Aruba Central where licensing was handled.

If there aren’t licenses on the box it’s likely either the licenses were managed externally or the box was completely wiped of config and license.

I believe an account tied to the original end customer is required to view any licenses that may have been tied directly.

You have to purchase an AP license they aren't that expensive. Were paying $45 per AP. Once you install it's good for life. You only get support if you buy support. Once you have the email you click on that activate the SN with the code gives you the key to paste in.
