  1. B

    “If a managed device does not receive three consecutive heartbeats from the Mobility Master, it assumes that Mobility Master is down, but continues to use the licenses it received from its Mobility Master license pool. When a managed device is unable to reach a license server for 30 consecutive days, it removes any shared licenses pushed to it from Mobility Master. If the 30-day window has passed and the managed device does not have enough installed licenses for all of its associated APs, the managed device will nonetheless continue to support each AP. However, when an AP reboots and its managed device does not have enough licenses, that AP will not come up.”

  2. A Managed Device is Unreachable
    Mobility Master sends keepalive heartbeats between the license server and the licensing client controllers every 30 seconds. If Mobility Master fails to receive three consecutive heartbeats from a client, it assumes that the licensing client is down, and that any APs associated with that client are also down or have failed over to another controller. Therefore, Mobility Master adds any licenses used by that client back into the available pool of licenses.
