Solved! Go to solution.
@Kiki yes it will, you just need to get the MX84 license converted to the MX85 one during that time.
You dont need a license for inventory items.
But if you want to start using it:
If your using pdl then you need a mx85 license.
In co term you can contact support to convert the license mx84->mx85 https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Licensing/Meraki_Co-Termination_Licensing_Ov...
When the mx84 fails, can the mx85 be in standby status before the license conversion?
If you are happy to cold swap them then you don't need it as you can convert the MX84 one. You get a 30-day grace period to fix licencing when it is out of compliance.
That's perfect!
😀
Please forgive me for confirming many times.
Add brand-new equipment, you can also have a 30 day grace period, is that right?
But if an MX series security appliance was added to the same organization, it would enter the 30-day grace period because the organization is not licensed for MX security appliances. For more information about the 30-day grace period, read the License Limit and Current Device Count section of this article or refer to the License Info article.
@Kiki the device can be in the organisation inventory, but not in a network. In other words were the MX84 to fail, you would have to set up the MX85 before traffic were restored.
@Kiki yes it will, you just need to get the MX84 license converted to the MX85 one during that time.
thank you!!!😃
