Keep Cisco ASR 9000 routing environments aligned with current software entitlements through a 3-year term license for 64-bit IOS XR software. This SWSS upgrade is built for infrastructure teams that need to preserve access to licensed capabilities while maintaining a clear support and renewal path. For large-scale routing platforms, software entitlement is not just a procurement line item. It is part of the operating model. A term license helps standardize coverage across deployed systems, reduce ambiguity around feature access, and support long-term planning for network operations. That matters when the platform carries critical traffic and change windows are limited. This license is suited to organizations that want to keep the ASR 9000 software stack under active entitlement without overcommitting to perpetual ownership. It provides a defined 3-year coverage period and a single-license structure, making it easier to align with refresh cycles, budget planning, and support governance. For teams managing high-value backbone or edge routing, that clarity has real operational value.
