licensing

hey guys

I am purchasing an MR36, my question is about licensing, since I will only use it as an access point on an intranet.
What does this license offer me? For what purposes do I need a license?

Hi ,

This is a good documentation related to basic questions around licences :

Do I need to have a license for every piece of Meraki hardware?

Yes, every Meraki hardware component requires a cloud license to be managed. Meraki hardware that isn’t licensed won’t pass traffic.

You will need a licence for every Meraki device.

Thank you
Now I understand

Bear in mind too - the Meraki AP will need to be able to communicate with the Meraki Dashboard, via the Internet, to operate effectively - even if your user-traffic does not touch the Internet.

general summary
without a license it doesn't work

An unlicensed MR36 makes a very elegant (if rather large and expensive) door stop...? 😁

But when you license it... https://tenor.com/bQRKu.gif

It's true, today I use Unifi 6 LR, but I'm having some problems with the network, which I believe are not the antennas but rather a line of equipment that uses SP8266 for Wi-Fi communication.
