What I have learned from watching videos, and presentations, about the new licensing for the new APs in the previous weeks.
1: Meraki stays the same (more or less). You want subscription , no worries, here is a subscription, and you can perhaps save a little money on the "essential" license, versus co-term (a good offer to go to advantage perhaps ?).
You are still on co-term, no worries as well, you can just continue here if you like.
Its all good, and everyone is happy.
2: Current Cisco on-prem. customers, unfortunatly, *frelled*
- Imagine having bought DNA licenses for 5 or 7+ years, then, before this, still just changing APs, because the license is the same in your smart-account. Now, if you want Wi-Fi7 AP , buy new licenses (aka. subscription).
There does not seem have been any though put into giving these customers anything (a upgrade path, a 1:1 conversion, anything).
That is gonna be one awkward conversation with those customers.
(I have already started to create memes for our sales support).
The best one involves the "two buttons meme", as a current Cisco DNA license holder, to convert your licenses to Meraki Co-term, or buy new licenses.
"Funny" stuff.
