cnMaestro X

cnMaestro works in two different modes: Essentials, and X. cnMaestro Essentials is free and supports basic network management functionality. cnMaestro X is paid and requires subscriptions.

New accounts are created with cnMaestro Essentials capabilities. cnMaestro X features can be activated with the Entitlement ID provided by Cambium Networks. For more details, refer to cnMaestro Features. You can purchase the Entitlement ID from an authorized Cambium Reseller or Distributor. The subscriptions are available for 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years per device type and device count. Pricing is based on Device Tiers. You need an Entitlement ID with equal or more device counts for each tier shown in the Device Summary.

cnMaestro X part numbers are available at https://www.cambiumnetworks.com/products/software/cnmaestro-x/. Once your order is processed, you will receive an email from Cambium containing your Entitlement ID.
