Hi all,

Question about licensing…

Imagine that I have a DNA Center appliance which controls 5 network devices.

If I want to, for example, access to the DNAC using a python script launched by Ansible, sending an API GET call to obtain the list of the NW devices controlled by DNAC, and also retrieving the configuration/details of these 5 devices.

How many nodes should I include in Ansible licensing? only DNAC server, right? because it is the one that ansible is pointing to.  
Or maybe, I have to register 6 nodes, 1 for DNAC and 5 for the NW devices?

I am asking because I am accessing to the info of 5 NW devices via Ansible using DNAC as intermediary.

Thank you in advance!
