WIFI 7

[Marwa Abdallah]

I want to know if I can order wifi7 part number with meraki license only to manage from meraki dashboard or i must order new unified license and meraki license is no longer enough for wifi7 sku's?

If your dashboard is Co-Term you would continue ordering LIC-ENT-XYR parts as necessary. If you are swapping APs you can reuse the old licenses.

If you have Subscription or EA, you need to provision the new Unified Licensing. For Subscription you need to add (or value shift) the qty necessary. If you have an EA and are midterm you just need to have a single license provisioned to activate the suite and then your next true-up will capture the net changes.

If you are brand new to Meraki, I would go with the subscription as that is the recommended path forward.

Hi @Marwa ,

You can order Wi-Fi 7 APs intended to be managed by Meraki dashboard with either the traditional "co-term" licensing or a new subscription model.

if i ordered with meraki traditional "co-term" licensing i will have full feature for wifi 7

Yes, there is no difference in feature sets between the licenses. You can order the base (essentials) or advantage with either option.

As mentioned the different licensing types i.e. co term and subscription offer the same features the differences are how everything is billed and fitting in your with companies financial requirements.
