Guideline
Co-termination
Meraki Display will only work supports co-termination organizations. If your organization is currently on per-device licensing (PDL), you will not be able to claim Meraki Display license; after the trial period ends, you will lose access to video walls on Meraki Display.
License limit
Meraki Display follows a concurrent license rule set. It allows a fixed number of app instances to be online at the same time. This model makes it very simple to install new devices and replace hardware.
- The license pool is shared across the entire organization.
- When a user launches Meraki Display and selects an organization, the system checks for available licenses. If none are available, the 30 days trial will be activated.
- Once the trial period ends, access to video walls will be denied until a valid license is added.
For example, the Meraki Beachfront Cafe needs 2 Meraki Display apps in their store. Next to the cash register and right by the entrance. For this setup, the owner bought and claimed 2 licenses into their organization. Later, the owner wants to replace the entrance Apple TV with a newer model. Because the maximum number of online app instances remains 2, the owner simply has to download and launch Meraki Display from the new Apple TV.
30 days trial
For new Meraki Display app installs, even without a valid license, we offer a free 30 days trial. During the trial period, A countdown watermark will be shown on the bottom right of video wall pages. After the trial period is over, you will be blocked from accessing video walls.
