Meraki Subscription Licensing - Subscription Claim

 

Overview 

This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to claim your subscription licensing to your organization. This action allows any licenses associated with the subscription to be utilized by any Network that is nested under the organization.

At this time, organizations that use PDL will need to open a support case to claim a Subscription License Key. Be aware that this conversion is permanent.

6. Once the claim process has been successfully completed, proceed to bind the networks to the newly added subscription. When one or more networks are bound to a subscription, all devices in those networks will consume seats from the subscription. If you do not bind your networks, they will remain unbound and this can result in non-compliance. 

For more information on binding your networks to the subscription, please refer to:
