Meraki SW license

[Moemen10]

Hello there,

Hope you are well.

I would like to ask two questions about meraki switches.

If I have a broken SW and I want to use the license to another SW on the same model, can I do this?

If I want to transfer to a different model can I do this?

If it is the precisely same model, then yes. But you likely don't have to buy a new switch. With a limited lifelong warranty, you can open a support case for an exchange.

As correctly highlighted by @KarstenI , if the device has a current and valid license then contact Meraki support to have the device RMAd.

you can’t transfer to another model as the licenses are model specific

Switch licenses are based on the model because of the many different models and features. An active switch license is what gives you your support and warranty therefore it would be unfair for someone with a MS425-32 to pay the same license cost as someone with a MS120-8 and vice versa. 

As mentioned if you have a current license and the switch is faulty RMA it, if it's an old switch that you are wanting to replace with a different model then you will need to purchase a new license as mentioned already.
