Welcome to the community! :)
The firmware of your WC7500 is way too old. I suggest you to upgrade the firmware to the latest version which is v6.5.5.24 but be sure to follow the firmware upgrade instructions stated here.
Since you want to activate 5 more APs, I'm sure you were able to activate an AP license key before. It might be possible that something is blocking the WC7500 from reaching the update server such as a firewall or proxy server. Are there any changes in your network setup or internet connection/subscription?
