    Cloud Controller Licensing FAQs
 

 Q: How does Cloud Controller licensing work?

A: Meraki access points use the Cloud Controller for centralized management and control. Cloud Controllers are licensed on a per node, per year basis. Each account is licensed for a certain number of access points.

Q: How much does a Cloud Controller license cost?

A: An Enterprise license is $150.00 per node per year. Discounts are available for multi-year licenses. A 3-year license is $300.00 and a five-year license id $450.00.

Q: How do I buy a Cloud Controller license?

A: You can buy a license directly through an authorized Meraki partner.

Q: What happens when my license runs out?

A: You can purchase a renewal through an authorized Meraki partner or from Meraki directly. If you chose not to renew, you will no longer have access to Meraki's Cloud Controller, which will cause your network to stop functioning.

Q: Do I have to buy more licenses every time I buy new hardware?

A: Not necessarily. Licenses are sold separately from the hardware.

Q: What happens if I add APs in the middle of my license term? Can I buy a pro-rated license?

A: Meraki sells one year, three year, and five year licenses, but does not sell pro-rated licenses. When you add a license to an existing account, the amount of extra time in your account is calculated and the renewal date for all your APs is extended accordingly. In this way an account only has a single renewal date, avoiding the confusion associated with multiple renewal dates and co-termination.

Q: I don't understand how the pro-ration calculation works. Please explain.

A: If you add a license to an existing network in the middle of the license period, Meraki gives you credit on your new license by extending your renewal date. Here's an example.

Let's say you originally purchased a 10 AP, 1 year license. 4 months into the license term you decide to add a 6 AP, 1 year license. You have extra credit of 4*6=24 AP-months. We automatically apply those 24 AP-months for your new 16 AP network. This gives you an additional 24 / 16 = 1.5 months.

The diagram below illustrates this example.
