Whether you need a license to upgrade an AP's firmware depends on several factors, including the specific AP model and the features or functionalities being added with the firmware upgrade.

Typically, No License is required for standard firmware updates that include bug fixes, security patches, and enhancements. All APs can upgrade firmware without license when there is new release announced on Nebula.

But if you would like to have advanced features which are supported by license, you may need to purchase license to use the features.

Feature based License is required if the firmware upgrade includes significant new paid features (e.g., advanced security features), a license might be required. These upgrades often enhance the AP's capabilities beyond basic operation.

Nebula Pro pack supported features that some APs advanced service where ongoing access to firmware updates, including major upgrades, is included in the subscription. In such cases, maintaining an active subscription is necessary to have the features.
