These are the two operations that enable licenses to be applied in an organization that uses the Co-
Termination licensing model. According to the Meraki Co-Termination Licensing Overview, there are
two ways to add licenses to an organization:
Renewing the Dashboard license: This option allows you to extend the co-termination date of your
organization by purchasing new licenses for the same or longer term as your existing licenses. You
can renew your Dashboard license from the Organization > Configure > License Info page or from the
Meraki Dashboard homepage.
Licensing more devices: This option allows you to add new devices to your organization by
purchasing new licenses for them. You can license more devices from the Organization > Inventory
page or from the Meraki Dashboard homepage.
