What George said. No key or Cambium ID.
As far as what it will do for you:
1) I've been liking configuration templates. I have a set of settings
I've been using on all AP's, so I created a template that sets them all.
A template can have variables as well. So I set SSID, device name,
and IP settings as variables and when I apply the template I can fill
those in and CnMaestro remembers what values I entered for each device.
So if this AP dies, I can see what I filled in for the variables and
configure the replacement in like 5 minutes. When the replacement AP
gets plugged into the router interface that the old AP was on, it gets
an IP address via DHCP and the cnmaestro URL is supplied via Option 43,
then I just onboard it and apply the template. Done.
1.5) If I decide tomorrow that I want different passwords or SNMP
strings on all devices, then I put that into a template and apply it to
all of them.
2) Mass software updates. I can click one AP or one tower and then
click Software Update. They all magically get updated.
3) Data collection and reports.
There are other things I haven't found reason to touch yet.
You can definitely do all of the above yourself with scripts and a
database.
Maestro also has an API and Auto-provisioning, but I believe those
features require the non-free "Pro" version and I don't know what that
costs.

When running locally are you using an "Cambium ID" and "Onboarding
Key"?
I just got the thing running on Proxmox and not sure what it will all
do for me. We have used scripts and SNMP to keep tabs on things for
many years.

Unpack the OVA and take the disk image out of it, convert to qcow2

Create a VM with any size hard disk. Remove the hard disk from the
VM, but
don't delete it. (remove once, not twice). Replace the image file
with the
one you extracted and converted, then add the disk back into the VM.
If you're using the lvm-thin storage type, create the VM on local
storage
first and then migrate it to local-lvm after you've got it working.

We use proxmox as well. Could you explain in a bit more detail how
you loaded cnMaestro on it?

Hi Everyone,
We have turned up the on premise version of cnMaestro and it turns
up
like a
charm. Kudos to the Cambium team! We use PROXMOX, a free
virtualization
product. All we had to do is untar the OVA pull out the vmdk and
convert
to
qcow2.
So, we have been a CNUT shop. CNUT works well through web proxy and
we
have
never seen a need to put a mgmnt IP on the SM. Now that we want to
use
the
on premise, we are taking our entire network up to 15.1.2.1 and we
are
enabling remote management on the WAN for NAT SM and turning on
ICMP.
For
bridged we are enabling public access and DHCP so it grabs an
address for
management. ALL is working well BUT we need to log into each and
every
SM
and make these changes.
My question is, is there an easier way? We have a custom r/w string
in
each
SM, but no IP access, just WEB PROXY.
Any help is appreciated, we have 100's of AP and 1000's of SM in the
field.
Cheers,
