Please give me me more high level details to help you in better way.    Here is my observation :  You can apply policies based on specific users in Meraki MX without requiring Active Directory (AD) integration by using Meraki's built-in user authentication capabilities, such as Layer 7 traffic shaping and group policies.   Meraki User Authentication: You can set up authentication to identify users on your network. This can be done via: Meraki Authentication (Local Users): You can use Meraki's built-in user database or integrate with a RADIUS server for external authentication. Splash Page: If users connect to a wireless network, they can authenticate via a splash page that requires credentials (even if you don’t use AD or any directory service). Group Policies: Once users are authenticated, you can apply group policies. These allow you to apply network usage rules (such as bandwidth limits, content filtering, etc.) based on specific users or groups. ... View more

You could also buy 2x 1 year license, but create the start date in 1 year in the future for one of the licenses. Depending on your sales partner this might or might not work. The easiest solution would probably be to buy now a 1 year license and another one again next year. It's still cheaper than the 3 year license, but the additional cost for the 3th year are much higher, if you want to extend it again. E.g. LIC-MX67-ENT-1YR costs $343.20 GPL (686.40 for 2 years) and 3Y would be $772.70. So there is just a difference of $86,30 for a third year. With discounts it's even less. As @alemabrahao already said I would also go for the 3y license. ... View more

This is such an expansive question.  It is hard to answer given so little information.   I would recommend contacting a Cisco Meraki partner, and engaging with them around the design. ... View more

@LeoAri  if you order a device with a license then the license should not ship until the device does.  The countdown starts then.  If you are ordering them separately then I'd order the license when you get the hardware shipment notification as you can activate the device without a license for 30 days. ...
