WLAN DNA Subscription expiration

[i_mohamed]

Hello,

If i will buy Cisco APs & Controllers:

first case without having DNA Center appliance: The license i have to buy is DNA Essentials subscription. This should be needed to enable the APs to operate on the controller. Correct? (acting as AP license).

2nd case: If we will have DNA Center appliance: we should have DNA Essentials or Advantage subscription (depending on the features we need and if we will have SDA in action or not). Correct?

The real question: This is a Subscription-based solution -> WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE SUBSCRIPTION EXPIRES? will the AP stop working completely? (in both of the cases above)?

Thanks

Case 1:  PRESENTLY, if there is no DNA appliance then do not worry about the expiring DNA licenses.  

Case 2:  WHEN the DNA appliance is online, buy or renew the DNA license.

Currently from Cisco on DNA Subscription licensing for Wireless and Route/ Switch

When they expire there is no impact to the network, it keep working. 

But in the future who knows. I know Meraki has a grace period before it stops functioning.
