Cisco 48-Port Network & DNA Essentials to Advanced Upgrade

Protect the value of your Cisco switching platform with a 7-year upgrade license for 48-port Network and DNA Essentials to Network and DNA Advanced. This licensing path is built for organizations that want to extend the life of their access layer investment while moving to a higher software tier on a defined schedule. For infrastructure teams, the advantage is clarity. A long-term upgrade license reduces renewal friction, supports multi-year budgeting, and gives network architects a clean path to advanced capabilities without replacing the underlying hardware. That is especially important in environments where switch refresh cycles are longer than software requirements. This license is suited to enterprise access deployments where consistency, policy alignment, and procurement discipline matter. By tying the upgrade to a 7-year term, Cisco gives teams a way to plan ahead, preserve operational continuity, and avoid piecemeal licensing decisions that can complicate support and lifecycle management.
