Can you still buy licenses for the MS425-32?
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 MS425-32 renewal SKUs are active on Cisco's price list as of our latest weekly validation:
LIC-MS425-32-10YR · $6,308.51 LIC-MS425-32-1YR · $841.13 LIC-MS425-32-3YR · $1,892.55 LIC-MS425-32-5YR · $3,154.25 LIC-MS425-32-7YR · $4,415.95

The MS425-32 is supported until Sep 28, 2029, 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.
