Is the Cisco Meraki MS250-24 end of life?
Yes — Cisco announced end-of-sale for the MS250-24-HW on Aug 28, 2024. The last day to order was Aug 8, 2025. Cisco Meraki supports it until Aug 8, 2030 — licenses can usually still be renewed up to that date.

Can you still buy licenses for the MS250-24?
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 MS250-24 renewal SKUs are active on Cisco's price list as of our latest weekly validation:
LIC-MS250-24-10YR · $1,842.32 LIC-MS250-24-1YR · $245.61 LIC-MS250-24-3YR · $552.48 LIC-MS250-24-5YR · $921.16 LIC-MS250-24-7YR · $1,289.30
The MS250-24 is supported until Aug 8, 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.
