I want to extend my MR enterprise Co-term License.

Current Meraki MR Enterprise license is going to expire on Sep 22, 2027. I need this to be extended until 2030. So What is the process to purchase the license

There are some consideration.

 

For example, if an organization had two separate Enterprise AP licenses, one license for 2x APs spanning one year (365 days) and another for 1x AP spanning five years (1,825 days). The co-termination value would be calculated as ((1825*1)+(365*2))/3= 851 days total for all three APs. So assuming all three licenses were applied on the same day, the organization would have a co-term date of 851 days from the start date of the licenses.

If the licenses were not applied at the same time, for example if the five-year license was applied halfway through the one-year license, the co-term calculation will take that into effect. In this case, the calculation would be ((1825*1)+(182*2))/3=730 days total for all three APs.

The organization co-termination date does not depend on the current device count, but rather the license limit. Removing devices from a network or organization will not impact the co-termination date.

To calculate how licenses impact each other in an organization, check out the License Calculator.

With co-term I would be waiting until your expiry date before renewing your license. So many things could happen in the next two years which could affect what you need to be purchasing.

If you have to renew now because of budget reasons, I would buy MR-Upgrade licenses that change your license level to Advanced, and depending on the purchased length, it also extends the end of the co-term. And you get many great new features for your wireless.

As @alemabrahao mentioned you can use the License Calculator to figure out exactly how adding a license will impact the co-term date. Here's an example of the tool modeling current expiration of Sept 22, 2027 and the impact of adding a 3 year renewal license. It would move the co-term date to Sept 21, 2030.

When using the tool always start with your current org license state on line 1 (license level, mode "add", default start & claim date of current date, then add the device models and quantities. Sept 22, 2027 is 755 days from today (Aug 28, 2025). So I used 755 days as the term on line 1.

 

Line 2 is where you can simulate a new license or type Add or Renewal. In your example of just wanting to extend time you would want the type to be renewal. If you wanted to both add devices and time you'd use a mode type of Add.

Bear in mind that just because you license devices doesn't mean that they might be supported in 2030, support depends of the model of hardware so if you have older access points by 2030 there is a good chance they won't be supported or compatible with new firmware.
