Cisco Meraki LIC-C9300-48A-7Y Advanced - License and Support Service

Software Subscription: LIC-C9300-48A-7Y is a Cisco Meraki Catalyst 9300-M 48-port Advanced License and Support, 7Y

Subscription for: Catalyst 9300/L/X-M 48-port

The Catalyst 9300-M license applies to all c9300 hardware platforms (c9300 / c9300L / c9300X) excluding the MS390. Catalyst 9300-M license structure includes two feature tiers:  Enterprise and Advanced.  As with all Meraki managed switches, every Catalyst 9300-M license is available in 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 year terms.

In the Co-term licensing model (most existing Organizations), an Organization must either have all Catalyst 9300/L/X-M Enterprise or all Catalyst 9300/L/X-M Advanced licenses - they cannot be mixed. In the Per-device licensing model, a mix of Enterprise and Advanced can be added to a single Organization, but certain features may require all devices in a Network to have Advanced licenses, e.g. Adaptive Policy.

The features available with Advanced licensing are:

• Adaptive policy 
• Netflow v10 (IPFIX) and Encrypted Traffic Analytics

Cisco Meraki's per-device licensing model provides customers with the flexibility to assign licences directly to specific devices or networks. This allows IT teams to manage shared or individual expiration dates across devices, networks, or organisations, tailoring it to your business needs.

Per-device licence LIC-C9300-48A-7Y, offers several key features and benefits:

• Individual Device Licensing: Assign licence to specific devices or networks, such as MR, MS, MX, MV, MG, or in the case of vMX and SM licences, a network. Maintain either shared or separate expiration dates based on your requirements.
• Partial Renewals: Renew all devices or a selected subset, giving you control and flexibility over your licensing.
• Licence Mobility: Easily move licences (including devices) between different organisations without needing Meraki support. This functionality is accessible through the dashboard and APIs.
• 90-Day Activation Window: You have up to 90 days to claim and assign your licences before they become active. This extended period allows for efficient deployment.
• API Integration: Leverage APIs for claiming, assigning, and moving licences, enabling automation and integration with other systems.
• Individual Device Management: If a licence expires on a device, Meraki will only shut down that specific device or product after a 30-day grace period.

LIC-C9300-48A-7Y Licence True-Ups (Shared Expiration Date)

For customers aiming to synchronise expiration dates across devices with varying expiration dates, one-day licence SKUs are available. These SKUs can be applied to adjust expiration dates to match or extend the furthest expiration date among devices.

For instance, if a customer has two devices, one expiring on January 1, 2020, and another on January 31, 2020, they can purchase (30) one-day SKUs to align the first device's expiration with the latter.

It's important to note that licence time cannot be split and applied across multiple devices. For instance, if a customer has an additional one-year licence and 12 devices, they can only apply it to one device, not distribute it for one month across 12 devices.
