I want to bump this old post so I don't have to create a new one. I have been actively fighting this issue in the shadows for the past 18 months and got no where. I know Meraki states that we can create a second org and apply the devices to that org but I have found the following issues. MX's / Z require a new site per 2 devices (PIN4). Meraki support is giving mixed answers on this topic. Some state if you claim the device then your equipment is locked other support reps will quote the KB. I also have seen the sales team have mixed messaging on this topic as well. The disabled network email warning could cause a lot of unneeded questions within a company when using the inventory network. For companies that do not use APIs this process causes additional steps with inventory management by having to add or remove devices from one org to another. Installation documentation does not fully disclose the inventory process so there is an opportunity For Meraki if a percentage of your customer base is unaware of this "requirement" they are left open to having their equipment taken from right under them, then having to go through support or sale to try to recover the equipment. This process hurts the customer from a time and frustration point of view, and Meraki from a customer perception and relation. I will say other vendors that have similar systems will lock the equipment once the equipment is claimed, yet Meraki finds this solution to be better in some way.. I'm open to seeing that vision if there is a gain for me the customer. Sorry for the small vent, but just wanted to float this out again.
