"If you choose not to renew, your Meraki systems will cease to provide network access on February 28, 2015."
I find that interesting as it is my understanding (confirmed by Meraki documents the last I knew) the Meraki Cloud's functionality is carried out on the control domain & does not have any involvement in packet forwarding(my limited testing with Meraki equipment confirmed this). I knew that access to change configuration might disappear but, I was not aware that the data plane could be interrupted as well. That is a excellent item for me to investigate further as I have investigated Meraki as a solution in the past. On a side note, those of you in this situation described below-you may want to take a peek at this: https://meraki.cisco.com/support/#policies:gpl . Does not provide an "enterprise" solution but never the less may get you out of a jam if needed until replacement equipment can be purchased etc. Mitchell T.
