Question 1

What happens if I add devices in the middle of my license term?

Accepted Answer

Meraki sells 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year licenses, but does not sell pro-rated licenses. When you add a license to an existing account, we calculate the amount of extra time in your account and extend the co-terminating renewal date for all your devices accordingly.nnLet’s say you originally purchased a 10 AP, 1 year license. 4 months into the license term you decide to add a 6 AP, 1 year license. You have extra credit of 4*6=24 AP-months. We automatically apply those 24 AP-months for your new 16 AP network. nThis gives you an additional 24 / 16 = 1.5 months.nnThe diagram below illustrates this example.nnIn this way an account only has a single co-terminating renewal date, avoiding the confusion associated with multiple renewal dates.
