Do Meraki devices work without a licence?
No. Meraki is licence-bound — the dashboard manages the device, and when the licence lapses the network enters a grace period and then stops forwarding. We always quote hardware and licence together.

Overview
Cisco Meraki Supplier and Cloud-Managed Networking Partner
Cisco Meraki is the fastest way to run a multi-site network from one dashboard, and it is one of the lines we are asked for most. We supply the full Meraki range — MX security appliances, MS switches, MR access points, MV cameras and the Z-series teleworker gateways — with the licence term quoted alongside the hardware, never after it.

The Meraki range we supply
Every Meraki device is cloud-managed and licence-bound, so the hardware choice and the licence term have to be made together. We quote both, and we size the appliance on real throughput with security services enabled rather than the headline figure.
- MX security appliances — MX67, MX68, MX75, MX85, MX95 and MX250 for branch through data centre
- MS switches — MS120, MS130, MS210, MS225, MS350 and MS390 access and aggregation
- MR and CW access points — MR36, MR44, MR46, MR56, MR57 and Wi-Fi 6E models
- MV smart cameras and Z-series teleworker gateways for home-based staff
Why buyers choose Meraki over traditional Cisco
Meraki suits organisations with many sites and few network engineers. Configuration is templated across sites, firmware is centrally scheduled, and a replacement device pulls its own configuration when it comes online. Classic Catalyst and ISR hardware still wins where deep CLI control or specialist routing is needed — we quote both and say which fits.
- One dashboard across every site, with role-based admin access
- Zero-touch provisioning — ship the device, plug it in, it configures itself
- Templated site rollouts that stay consistent as you add locations
- Honest comparison with Catalyst where that is the better fit
Licensing quoted with the hardware
A Meraki device without a current licence stops passing traffic after its grace period. We quote 1, 3 and 5 year terms, co-terminate them so every site renews on one date, and track expiry dates on your behalf.
- Enterprise and Advanced Security licensing explained in plain terms
- Co-termination across sites and device types
- Renewal reminders well ahead of the expiry date

FAQs
Questions We Are Asked Most
Can you mix Meraki with existing Cisco Catalyst kit?
Yes. Mixed estates are common — Catalyst in the core, Meraki at branch sites. We design the hand-off and routing between the two so they behave as one network.
