Hi Monnat and Jakob,

I am confuse now so I made a diagram,

I bought a new ruckus controller containing 10 lics with 10 AP's for dead-spot area, it happened that my current controller can accommodate 50lic only.

My goal here is  to synchronize the new ZD to old ZD. Second point the 10 new APs to new ZD1200.
Third, All SSID broadcast from old ZD can also broadcast the new ZD.

is this possible? please enlighten me.

jee..
yours is a peculiar case as you have two different generation hardware..
both will NOT sync, what best you can do is to load the backup from ZD1100 to ZD1200 for sake of having best possible similar configuration..
Backup which you can restore into ZD1200 requires that firmware version while pulling the backup configuration from ZD1100 should be same on ZD1200 when you are restoring..atleast you will similar config on both controllers..
yes, both can transmit same ssid however do remember that SSID/key might be same however infrastructure is different..

Thank you Monnat and Jakob, both devices are working now. 

I have additional question about licences, because I need to buy another 5 license for ZD1200. We're can I possibly buy? My supplier told me to buy to another company (a company with extra ruckus license) which I don't know if it can be transfer to our ZD.

i am not sure why your reseller did not sell you another 5 AP lic for your controller as per your requirement... strange..
anyway - request to reach out to your region ruckus sales guy and they can get you connected to right reseller - https://www.ruckuswireless.com/contact
