WCS Plus licenses, does this replace the Location License?


The PLUS license include location services, but also supports HA and more:
Cisco WCS PLUS includes all WCS Base features plus the ability to track location of a single Wi-Fi device such as a client, tag, or rogue access point on demand (limited location), N:1 High Availability (HA) for WCS servers, and Cisco 3300 Series Mobility Services Engine (MSE) management which can expand location capabilities by adding Cisco Context-Aware Software to simultaneously track up to 18,000 assets.

Please note for upgrades: Cisco WCS PLUS license products introduced in release 5.2 are backward compatible with existing Cisco WCS Location and Enterprise licenses.

Chances are this information is less useful nowadays with WCS being eventually replaced by Prime NCS. WCS is still available as a product but support for the newest APs and controllers is only supported on Prime NCS (1600,2600,3600 for example)
