Explanation

Under Co-Termination licensing, all devices on the network share a single, unified license pool and expiration date - meaning license violations trigger a network-wide consequence, not a per-device one. When unlicensed devices are added, Meraki's Co-Term model does not immediately shut anything down; instead, it enforces a 30-day grace period, after which all network devices (not just APs) lose functionality until compliance is restored, making B correct.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because Co-Term provides a grace period - nothing stops immediately.
• C is wrong because Co-Term is not a per-device model; a single unlicensed AP doesn't isolate consequences to just itself.
• D is the trickiest distractor - the 30-day timeline is correct, but "All APs" is too narrow. Co-Term affects all network devices, not just APs.

Memory tip: Think of Co-Term as a team contract - the whole team plays or nobody plays. Add unlicensed players (APs), and the whole team gets benched in 30 days, not just the new additions.
