Process

Step	Description
1	Validate Hardware Compliance \| Cisco Meraki US Government region does not support all available Cisco Meraki hardware. Use our Cisco Meraki US Government Region Users Supported Devices page to confirm your hardware is supported in the Cisco Meraki For Government Region.
2	Create New Organization \| Contact your account executive and ask them to create a new organization for you within the Cisco Meraki US Government region. For them to do this you will need to have at least one order with a valid co-termination FED license SKU.
3	Migrate Configuration Information \| Manually copy or use APIs to migrate information from your commercial cloud to their new Cisco Meraki US Government region organization.

Doing so will reduce the remaining time on the licenses by 20% to account for the increase costs of the Cisco Meraki US Government region. To migrate your licenses, open a new case with Cisco Meraki support.
