Can you still buy licenses for the GR12-HW-EU?
Yes — its licenses were never model-specific. Wireless (MR) licenses cover any model in the family, so this announcement does not strand the licensing: the same license renews a current model when you replace the hardware. Price the renewal at easyMeraki.
