Is the Cisco Meraki MS120-48FP end of life?
Yes — Cisco announced end-of-sale for the MS120-48FP-HW on Mar 28, 2024. The last day to order was Mar 28, 2025. Cisco Meraki supports it until Mar 28, 2030 — licenses can usually still be renewed up to that date.

Can you still buy licenses for the MS120-48FP?
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 MS120-48FP renewal SKUs are active on Cisco's price list as of our latest weekly validation:
LIC-MS120-48FP-10Y · $1,291.50 LIC-MS120-48FP-1YR · $172.20 LIC-MS120-48FP-3YR · $387.45 LIC-MS120-48FP-5YR · $645.76 LIC-MS120-48FP-7YR · $904.05
The MS120-48FP 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.
