Cisco ACI Upgrade License ESS to ADV | 10G+ Platforms, Enterprise — ACI-UPG-ES-AD-XF=

Move from essential to advanced Cisco ACI capability with this ESS to ADV upgrade license for 10G+ platforms. It is designed for teams that have already standardized on Cisco ACI and now need a licensing step that unlocks a higher feature tier without forcing a platform replacement. That matters in data center environments where the network fabric is already in production and the real requirement is capability expansion, not disruption. An upgrade license lets procurement and infrastructure teams extend the value of the current deployment while aligning with a more advanced operational model. For organizations managing growth, segmentation, or policy requirements, this is the kind of purchase that supports the next phase of the architecture without resetting the stack. Choose it when the goal is to preserve the existing ACI investment and move deliberately to a more capable license level on supported 10G+ platforms.
