Is the Cisco Meraki MX84 end of life?
Yes — Cisco announced end-of-sale for the MX84-HW on Aug 10, 2021. The last day to order was Oct 31, 2021. Cisco Meraki supports it until Oct 31, 2026 — licenses can usually still be renewed up to that date.

Can you still buy licenses for the MX84?
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 MX84 renewal SKUs are active on Cisco's price list as of our latest weekly validation:
LIC-MX84-ENT-10YR · $4,048.37 LIC-MX84-ENT-1YR · $539.78 LIC-MX84-ENT-3YR · $1,214.79 LIC-MX84-ENT-5YR · $2,024.46 LIC-MX84-ENT-7YR · $2,834.13 LIC-MX84-SEC-10YR · $8,096.74 LIC-MX84-SEC-1YR · $1,079.57 LIC-MX84-SEC-3YR · $2,429.02 LIC-MX84-SEC-5YR · $4,048.37 LIC-MX84-SEC-7YR · $5,667.72
The MX84 is supported until Oct 31, 2026, 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.
