Do I require a license to run my AP in Survey Mode?
Hi All,
We are now looking into bringing in Meraki into our portfolio. We currently have some access points (Various) on the way to use to use for Site Surveys. My Question is do we also have to purchase the licenses for these to work in survey mode only?
Solved! Go to solution.

I'm pretty sure you don't need a license to run them in survey mode. Let me see if I can find an AP I haven't added to the dashboard and test it out. Since you configure this on the local status page I can't imagine that you would need a license...

You will need to license them to assign them to a network and use any of the cloud features.

OK, so the documentation is correct in that you cannot take an AP directly out of the box and convert it to survey mode. I just tried that and it I cannot get to the local status page at all.
I can see a way around this possibly as Meraki will give you a 30 day grace period for licensing... So if you add a new AP to a network, ensure it's all connected to the dashboard and all, you'll then have 30 days to convert it to survey mode before it goes offline. Once it's in survey mode it should continue to operate as long as you leave it in survey mode.
But, that's just a guess.
