License: MR Enterprise VS MR Essential

arturosanchez1 — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 18:13:02 GMT

I have a question regarding the difference between the Enterprise license and the Essential license for MR access points.

I understand that the Enterprise license applies to the Co-Term or PDL licensing model, while the Essential license is used for the Subscription model.

However, my main question is about functionality: would the features in the dashboard be the same with both licenses, correct?

with subscribtion there seams to be a difference between Essential and Advantage...but I have no experience on it.

hope this helps

MR Enterprise = Essential

MR Advanced = Advantage

Thank you for the information and for your time.

Yes, that’s correct — there are differences between Essential and Advantage, as Advantage includes everything in Essential plus advanced features.

The same applies to the Enterprise and Advanced licenses.

My question is more about the equivalency of functionalities in the Meraki dashboard:

Essential = Enterprise?
Advantage = Advanced?
