 - Your wireless controller model (2504) can not run that version designated for higher models ; that means that if you need to support the C9115AXE  AP's in your network ; then you will need to change & upgrade the controller to a newer model ; preferably a 9800 based controller model ,

To summarise all the other answers:
Can C9115AXE AP able to Join on C2504 Hardware controller ? NO

If you want to use the 9115 AP you will have to upgrade the WLC to a currently supported model like 9800 series.
