NCS Wireless device licenses

Based on the documents below, WLC do not take up licenses in NCS.

WLCs do not count against NCS license count.

Cisco Prime NCS 1.1 Deployment Guide

For example a deployment comprising of 280 AP's and 6 WLC, just purchase licenses enough to cover the 280 access points. You can either go with 1 instance of the 100 Base license 'R-PI-1.1-100-K9' then choose under Add On option, 2 instances of the 100 Add On licenses to come up with 300 licenses, or go with the 500 user license 'R-PI-1.1-500-K9' to have room for more devices as your network expands.

Other devices which do not take up NCS license count would be: WLCs, Autonomous APs,  and MSE's. These devices are not licensed but they need to be counted on the 'scalability' of the appliance.
