MS130 Licenses

[KarstenI]

Hi all,

What is the benefit of the Advanced License compared to the Enterprise License for the MS130 (non-X models)? Obviously, it's not Adaptive Policy or more OSPF routes like on the high-end models. Any idea or reference?

Have a great weekend, Karsten

Great question. By Advanced Licence do you mean the Advantage licence ?

Even https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Licensing/Meraki_MS_Subscription_Licensing doesn't provide any answers. 

All the features from the licence are only for the MS390 / C9300 

[KarstenI]

no, really the legacy differentiation ENT vs. ADV:

Haven't followed all the licence change ( and tbh I'm really lost in all the changes made in the past year... ) 

So there is ENT , ADV and Advantage ?

[KarstenI]

• Enterprise and Advance for the classical licensing
• Essentials and Advantage for the new Subscription Licensing

[Brash]

Yeah, no idea...

I did join webinar a few weeks ago for some new MS features that by the sound of it were targeted towards the advance license only.

From memory one of them was the smart packet capture features.

I may well be wrong though.

I don't believe there is any for regular MS130s, it just exists because they simplified the number of licensing SKUs. I can see how it would be confusing during the sales process

Advanced / Advantage licences don't hold any meaning for the majority of MS switches;   they don't support the Adv features.   MS130 is the only exception;   130X and 130R have Adaptive Policy capabilities.   The traditional SKUs for co-termination / PDL licences for all the older MS models hold a clue;   these are all Ent only.
