The Pilot-only Licensing mode is selectable under connected or air gap functionality, but the core functionality of Pilot-level Licensing is only applicable to connected mode.
In Pilot mode, the controller only supports retrieval of Pilot-level licensing capacity from the LEM server or the air gap file. It does not recognize navigator-level licenses. You must have sufficient Pilot capacity in the LEM pool account or the air gap file.
Note
Pilot licenses are required for WiFi 7 Access points and cloud integrated features. This requires enabling system-wide Pilot license consumption for all managed APs.
