Maintain consistent feature access across your Catalyst 3850 environment with a 5-year DNA Advantage term license for 48-port systems. This license is designed for organizations that want to standardize switch capabilities, simplify lifecycle planning, and keep network operations aligned to a defined subscription window. For infrastructure teams, the value is in predictability. A term license helps reduce one-off purchasing decisions and supports longer-range budgeting for access-layer infrastructure. It is a practical fit for environments where switch refreshes, policy consistency, and operational planning need to stay synchronized. DNA Advantage is positioned for teams that expect more from their network software than basic entitlement. It supports a more structured approach to managing Cisco Catalyst 3850 deployments, especially where 48-port configurations are part of a broader campus standard. By anchoring licensing to a 5-year term, it gives procurement and engineering a cleaner path for renewal planning and asset governance. Use this license when you need to preserve investment in existing Catalyst 3850 hardware while keeping software access under a clear commercial model. It is a strong choice for enterprises that value continuity, control, and fewer surprises in the network budget.
