Meraki Access Point License Options

About This Product
All Meraki access points require a valid license in order to be used. Licenses come in two tiers, Enterprise and Advanced.

1. Enterprise (the minimum requirement and until recently (Oct 2020) the only choice ‘LIC-ENT-…‘); and
2. Advanced/Upgrade (‘LIC-MR-ADV-…”)
