Can you still buy licenses for the MS125-48FP?
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 MS125-48FP renewal SKUs are active on Cisco's price list as of our latest weekly validation:
LIC-MS125-48FP-10Y · $1,850.61 LIC-MS125-48FP-1Y · $246.71 LIC-MS125-48FP-3Y · $555.24 LIC-MS125-48FP-5Y · $925.03 LIC-MS125-48FP-7Y · $1,295.37

The MS125-48FP 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.
