Is the Cisco Meraki MS225-48LP end of life?
Yes — Cisco announced end-of-sale for the MS225-48LP-HW on Oct 30, 2025. The last day to order was April 30, 2026. Cisco Meraki supports it until April 30, 2031 — licenses can usually still be renewed up to that date.

Can you still buy licenses for the MS225-48LP?
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 MS225-48LP renewal SKUs are active on Cisco's price list as of our latest weekly validation:
LIC-MS225-48LP-10Y · $2,123.81 LIC-MS225-48LP-1YR · $283.14 LIC-MS225-48LP-3YR · $636.92 LIC-MS225-48LP-5YR · $1,061.90 LIC-MS225-48LP-7YR · $1,486.34
The MS225-48LP is supported until April 30, 2031, 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.
