Does this release pertain to me?
If you manage WatchGuard Access Points (APs) with the Gateway Wireless Controller (GWC), note that WatchGuard is introducing changes that affect how your APs are managed and supported after their Basic Wi-Fi subscriptions expire. Beginning with the Fireware v12.5.1 release, each WatchGuard AP managed by a GWC on a Firebox must have a valid Basic Wi-Fi subscription. WatchGuard APs activated with Basic Wi-Fi subscriptions before 1 September 2018 are not affected by these changes.
For additional information about Basic Wi-Fi expiration changes, see WatchGuard AP License Enforcement for Basic
Wi-Fi Subscriptions.
Software Download Center
Firebox appliance owners with active support subscriptions can obtain the Fireware 12.5.1 without additional charge by downloading the applicable packages from the WatchGuard Software Download Center.
