Cisco C3850 DNA Advantage 12-Port 7-Year Term License | Enterprise Licensing — C3850-DNA-A-12-7Y

Lock in long-term licensing coverage for your Catalyst 3850 environment with Cisco DNA Advantage term licensing for 12 ports. The 7-year term is well suited to organizations that want to stabilize procurement cycles, reduce renewal overhead, and keep network entitlement aligned with a known access-layer footprint. This license is designed for existing deployments that need a defined coverage period rather than short renewal intervals. For infrastructure teams, that means fewer administrative touchpoints and a clearer path for budgeting, lifecycle planning, and compliance tracking. The port-based structure also makes it easier to match licensing to the actual switch footprint in service. Cisco DNA Advantage is positioned for teams that want to maintain a consistent software posture across the network while preserving the value of the installed Catalyst 3850 base. It is a practical choice when the goal is to keep operations predictable over multiple years and avoid the churn of annual license management. For procurement and network operations, the result is simpler planning with a longer horizon.
