I just went through a similar, though much smaller, license migration, where I
moved a small pack of licenses I no longer needed on production over to my lab
gear. I had to go through TAC to get them to push the right buttons on the
licensing portal from the back end, but they made it happen after a quick set
of routine questions. Overall the process was quick and painless.

That is very cool - I didn't know you could do that! So, if I had 100x 7005
controllers and I wanted to collapse their capacity into a single 7240
controller, I can do that? Is there a 'license reclamation' command or
something that I do on the 100 units to decommission them or something?
I see there is a command for re-hosting licenses in an RMA situation, but it's
unclear that this is supported between platforms of differing capacities...
Has anyone done this that can share their experiences?

Full disclosure, I work for a VAR that sells Cisco gear. Having said that,
Jake is spot on. If you're doing an Apples to Oranges cost comparison (WLC
AP licenses vs Cisco One), the numbers don't work out. If you use (or are
planning to use) Prime Infrastructure, MSE, WLC, and ISE, the cost between
buying all of these things a la carte vs Cisco One is basically a wash.
The return on your investment is when you buy your next WLC, you pay for
the hardware only and it becomes very attractive at that point. Your VAR
should be able to help you navigate those different costing comparisons.____

There are cost savings to be had. There is currently a promo when
moving to new 5520 or 8540 hardware that is very compelling.____

That said, brownfield where you are just migrating from standard
licensing to C1 on the existing hardware doesn't make a lot of sense
unless you want to add features. ISE, MSE/CMX, Prime Assurance...____

Ultimately it's going to depend on where you are in the lifecycle
process. You should totally ping your Cisco Partner and have them run
the numbers for you, so you can see what the right thing to do is.____

I've recently been asked if we could benefit from Cisco One for
wireless licensing. I am not very familiar with the product so I
thought I would ask the Educause community for any input and see
if it is very widely used and valued.____

One scenario I was presented with is that perpetual licensing
would save us from re-purchasing Access Point licensing when we
upgrade to newer (hardware) controllers. When we upgraded from
5508's to 8510's we managed to negotiate a transfer of our
existing licenses at no cost but that is not a guarantee for the
next upgrade.____
