Hi Jenny,Yes, License can be transferred from Old vSZ to new vSZ by doing a RMA. Our Licensing team can help you out on that.Yes the new vSZ can join the existing cluster. But you have to make sure it has the required routing between the old subnet and the new subnet. The latency should be less than 20 ms.Regards,

Hi Arun,

Will transferring of licenses for both node and APs be possible by creating RMA?
If i will create a new node, and allow my current standby node to be the leader now, can the new node join the clustering?

Hi Jenne,If I am correct, you are planning to bring up a new vSZ and move all the AP's to that vSZ.Step 1 : Bring up the new vSZ with new Ip address Step 2 : Move the cluster configuration from old vSZ to new vSZ Step 3 : Run a script on existing vSZ, so that all the Ap's are aware of the new vSZ Ip address Step 4 : Shutdown the existing vSZ, so that ap's can join the new vSZ Please make sure you take a downtime for this complete process.

For assistance with License and the Script, I would request you to please open a case with Support.
