Subscription Licensing

Can someone help me with the topic of subscription in which if the customer adds more hardware to his existing subscription model with license and the customer has around 10 months until their subscription model is ending. My understanding ist that the customer will be paying in this case only for the 10 months to the added license rather than the full term like in the case of co-term and in this way the end date remains the same and they can extend the licenses in one go?

You are correct, the subscription products are built (billing wise) off the regular Cisco commerce platform and additions coterm to the existing expiration date. They do not extend the date like Meraki's co-term model.

If you use an EA as a subscription license then you only add the new devices at renewal, unless you add a significant amount.
