Can you still buy licenses for the MS120-24P?
Yes. Cisco Meraki's EOL policy keeps device licenses orderable after end-of-sale unless the license itself is end-of-life'd — and these MS120-24P renewal SKUs are active on Cisco's price list as of our latest weekly validation:
LIC-MS120-24P-10YR · $708.12 LIC-MS120-24P-1YR · $94.38 LIC-MS120-24P-3YR · $212.49 LIC-MS120-24P-5YR · $353.78 LIC-MS120-24P-7YR · $495.63
| Renewal SKU | Tier | Term | easyMeraki price |
|---|---|---|---|
LIC-MS120-24P-10YR |
Enterprise | 10 yr | $708.12 |
LIC-MS120-24P-1YR |
Enterprise | 1 yr | $94.38 |
LIC-MS120-24P-3YR |

LIC-MS120-24P-5YR |
Enterprise | 5 yr | $353.78 |
LIC-MS120-24P-7YR |
Enterprise | 7 yr | $495.63 |
The MS120-24P is supported until Mar 28, 2030, so a renewal that runs to that date is ordinary. Per Cisco Meraki's EOL policy, if a legacy device can no longer connect after end-of-support, Cisco's stated remedy is best efforts toward an upgrade path or a prorated credit of the remaining license term — so time bought past that date is covered by policy, not stranded. For a long term it is still worth pricing the replacement alongside.
