License PDL - Start of burning

[bolota]

Hey guys. Good morning.

Has anyone already done this test?

Hypothesis:
I claim a 1 year license for dash and assign it to a device that has been turned off and the license has expired for 2 years and leave that device in the inventory but outside of any network. 
Doubt:
This license will continue for 1 year indefinitely until the device is assigned to a network or has a deadline to start burning time even when outside any network.

PDL Licenses have a 90 day grace period between shipment and when they start burning regardless.
See notes here about the pre-activation period: https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Licensing/Meraki_Per-Device_Licensing_Overvi...

Now there are definitely some flaws in PDL where they don't quite work as described as far as expiration, but I've not encountered any situation like yours.
