Visit your RUCKUS-AI account from https://ruckus.cloud/ai (previously https://ruckus.cloud/analytics) and follow below steps.
1. Login with your support.ruckuswireless.com credentials.

By expanding a Zone you can see all the AP groups under it (if no additional groups are configured then you will only see 'default' group).
4. Depending upon your selection under 'Explore Network' you can choose APs from right side pan and hit on 'Save' to link selected APs with available license pool.
5. AP mapping with RUCKUS AI AP license completed! Wait for 30 minutes to 2 hours to see Analytical information from newly linked APs.
Several points to note:
Scenario: The user selected Zone 1 and hit Save. This action assigns a license to every AP currently in Zone 1.
-
If an AP is moved from Zone 1 to Zone 2, the license will move with the AP, i.e. it will still an licensed AP under Zone 2.
-
If the user adds more APs to Zone 1, they don't automatically get assigned licenses. The user has to come into the RUCKUS AI licensing UI again and select the new APs so they are assigned licenses.
-
If an AP is removed from the SZ, the license for that AP is still attached. Since we no longer get configuration data for that AP, we will list that AP under "Others", and the user will have to unselect that AP from the licenses so free up that license.
-
If an SZ has licensed APs, and the SZ is offboarded, the licenses are still attached. When the SZ is re-onboarded, the APs are automatically added to the APFilterList sent to the SZ. Hence, when the user offboards an SZ, if the user wants to detach the licenses for the APs on that SZ, the user must do it in the RUCKUS AI UI prior to offboarding the SZ.
-
If the user realizes this after offboarding the SZ, the user can still detach the licenses for the APs of the SZ. The APs will be listed in the "Other" category, since we no longer have configuration information for these APs.
-
We have also a video which explains the onboarding and AP license mapping. You can access the same from here.
