As far as I know you just need to add AP licenses and MC-VA licenses on your existing controllers, regardless if you are using Mobility conductors or not. Explained below the different license types.

This video might also be helpful for you (if you do not use conductors, ignore that part)

Hi,
We currently have two MC-VA-10 controllers running in VRRP mode with 10 APs connected.
We would like to increase the number of supported APs to 20.
Can you confirm whether we can simply upgrade the AP license on the existing MC-VA-10 cluster, or if a new controller deployment is required to support 20 APs?
