Convert Cisco 9164 to Meraki 9164

[The_Roo]

A simple question, with probably a complex answer: Is it possible to convert a Cisco 9164 AP to a Meraki 9164, and if so what is involved/what is the process?

Just a final thought....is this something that is a reasonable way forward if you have a WLC but in future plan to go to the Meraki Cloud, or is is endless pain and hassle? it looks simple, quick and painless from the document: on a network of less than 100 APs, is it a workable solution?
