NX5500E Wing Express Manager

[steve_kemball]

I have seen the end of sale notification for the Express access points but cannot find any notification for the NX5500E Express Manager that is also listed as end of sale at the end of March 2018.

Does anyone know what the future plan is for adding access points, or 'controllers' to an existing Express implementation?

Thanks Again.

Hello Steve,

as the conversion is not changing serial number of the device, I believe the license entitlement will stay the same = using the same string.

If 5.9.2 is effectively converting to Enterprise Wing then what are the ramifications regarding the 128 access point licenses that Express Manager has built-in?

Thank You Ondrej for the clarification.

Hello Steve,

NX5500E, as part of Express portfolio, is also end of sales since October 30th, 2017.
Since WiNG 5.9.2 you are able to convert Express to non-Express (Enterprise if you wish) WiNG.
Then you will be able to expand your deployment in same manner.

In case you wish to stay with Express SKU, you shall NOT upgrade to 5.9.2 and stay with 5.9.1 code.
No further devices are available though.

For more details, please contact your distributor or sales representative.

Regards,
Ondrej
