No, there is no licensing.<br />
Yes, a controller is needed. &nbsp;There is a free package you can install on a Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) VM or other OSes, or you can buy a device like the Cloud Key or Dream Machine Pro which are appliances with the controller software.

Thanks for the quick reply footech. &nbsp;Looks like all I need is a <strong>UniFi</strong> <strong>Controller</strong> software, which can be installed on a Windows machine on-premise, which is free and downloadable from ui.com?
