Cisco Meraki Licences & Renewals Australia
Hardware shown for illustration. Hardware and licences are quoted separately.
Renewing Meraki licences, adding devices or planning a new network? Request a quote matched to your hardware, current licensing model, feature requirements and preferred term. Buymeraki helps Australian organisations check the proposed licences before ordering.
Use the licensing guidance and MX comparisons below, then send us the details of your project. Different licensing models have different renewal and activation rules.
What are you planning?
Renew existing licences
Include your device models, quantities, current licensing model and preferred renewal term. Let us know your current expiry date if known.
Add devices to your network
Send the new hardware part numbers and quantities, together with your existing licensing model. We will check the proposed licensing requirements.
Start a new deployment
Include your proposed device list, required features and preferred term. Ask for the hardware and licences to be checked together.
Which licensing model does your organisation use?
Subscription licensing: check the applicable subscription, network, feature tier and term for your deployment.
Co-term licensing: existing organisations use a shared organisation expiry calculated from their claimed licences and device limits. Adding devices and renewing are different quoting needs.
Legacy per-device licensing: existing deployments require their own checks. This is not a generally available option for new Australian customers.

What if you use subscription licensing?
MX subscription tiers are named Essential and Advantage. They have their own feature matrix: Essential includes threat protection, while Advantage adds advanced performance capabilities. Do not select a subscription tier by assuming it matches a co-term edition. Check Cisco's MX subscription comparison and confirm the exact licence for your organisation before ordering.
