Cisco ASR 9K FCM Smart License for 8,000 BNG Sessions | Licensing, Cisco — E3P-S-A9K-BNG8KFCR

Add 8,000 BNG subscriber sessions to Cisco ASR 9000 environments with a smart license built for service-provider access scale. This entitlement is intended for teams that need to grow broadband subscriber capacity while keeping the routing platform stable and the licensing model clean. For networks carrying residential, business, or wholesale access traffic, session capacity is a direct planning constraint. This license gives you a defined increment for BNG subscriber sessions, making it easier to match entitlement to demand as customer counts rise. It is a practical fit for operators standardizing on Cisco ASR 9000 for edge and aggregation roles where subscriber scale matters. Because it is a smart license, procurement and activation stay tied to Cisco’s licensing workflow rather than a hardware change. That helps reduce friction when expanding capacity across existing deployments and keeps the purchase aligned to a specific operational need instead of overbuying broader platform licenses. For organizations protecting margin, that precision matters. Ideal For Expand broadband subscriber capacity on an existing Cisco ASR 9000 deployment Add licensed BNG session headroom for residential access growth Support wholesale or business access services that require higher session counts Standardize entitlement planning across service-provider edge infrastructure Why This Product 1 Targets BNG session capacity rather than general-purpose licensing 2 Fits Cisco ASR 9000 service-provider deployments 3 Uses smart licensing for cleaner entitlement management 4 Defines a specific 8,000-session increment for planning accuracy
