How Meraki licensing works
What matters when it is time to renew.
Three licensing models
Meraki organizations use co-termination licensing, per-device licensing or subscription licensing. Which one you have changes how a renewal works, so it is the first thing we check.
Co-termination means one date
In co-termination licensing, licenses apply to the whole organization rather than to individual serial numbers, and every license shares one expiration date. Meraki calculates the shared expiration date using a weighted average based on the license types and quantities in the organization. Adding licenses can change that date.
When license time starts
In co-termination licensing, license time starts when the order is processed, not when you add it in the dashboard. Holding a renewal key does not delay its start. Per-device and subscription licensing follow different timing rules, so we check your licensing model before advising when to apply a renewal.
Meraki recommends looking at subscription licensing at renewal time, and current co-termination licenses must expire before an organization can move to subscription. We can walk you through whether a switch makes sense.
What happens when Meraki licensing expires
When a co-termination organization passes its expiration date, it enters a 30-day grace period. The network keeps working normally, and organization admins receive weekly email reminders.
If licensing is not back in order by the end of the grace period, Meraki shuts the organization down. The devices stop passing client traffic, and dashboard access is restricted to the License Info and Device Status pages until new licenses are added.
Per-device licensing generally has a 30-day grace period for eligible licenses. Time spent in that period reduces the remaining time on a replacement license. One-day licenses do not receive a grace period, and Meraki does not allow grace-period resets for one-day licensing (Meraki’s per-device licensing details). Check your specific licensing situation before relying on a grace period. Details are in Meraki’s guide to licensing out of compliance and per-device licensing overview.

Meraki renewal questions
Do we have to be in Omaha to renew through you?
No. We quote Meraki renewals for companies anywhere in the U.S. Hands-on installation and support work is focused on the Omaha and Lincoln areas.
We bought our Meraki gear somewhere else. Can you still quote the renewal?
Yes. Send us your license info and device list and we will quote it.
Our license already expired. What now?
Contact us right away. Many Meraki licensing models have a 30-day grace period, but the rules depend on your licensing type. If your organization has already been shut down, the licensing issue must be resolved before the network can operate again.
Is there a price list?
No. Renewal pricing depends on your devices, license types and term, so we quote each one.
Do we need managed IT to renew through you?
No. You don’t need a managed IT contract to buy licensing or renewals from us.
