MX's can't have different licensed within the same organisation. They must all have the same license type 

 

Edit: Looks like they can have different licensed in some scenarios. In which case yes, AutoVPN can work between differently licensed MX's as the feature is supported on both advanced and SD-WAN Plus licenses.

 

 

"Can we mix two license types in a single organization?

 

MX licensing can now support mixed licensing with Per Device SDW+ licenses. For instance, if you have 25 MX networks in your organization, you can have 20 MX devices with Advance Security features and upgrade 5 MX devices with Per Device SD-WAN Plus licenses to get SD-WAN features. 

 

However, the above is not supported with the Enterprise licenses. Enterprise licensed customers cannot be in a mixed license environment. "

@Brash When did the license piece change?  I was under the impression that an Org had to be licensed at the same level.

Honestly not too sure as I've always used co-term rather than PDL.

Just figured I should double check my answer with some quick Googling 😅

I first heard of this new model with the introduction of the subscription-based Licensing. But it seems that it is also possible without the subscription-model.
