Cisco C4500X DNA Advantage 3-Year Term License | Enterprise Network — C4500X-DNA-E-3Y

Maintain advanced Catalyst 4500-X software capabilities with a 3-year DNA Advantage term license built for enterprise network operations. This license is intended for organizations that want predictable software coverage, cleaner procurement cycles, and a clear path for keeping switch functionality aligned with Cisco’s software-defined management model. DNA Advantage is the tier chosen when the network needs more than basic switching. It supports environments where policy consistency, operational visibility, and centralized control matter across distributed sites or campus infrastructure. A term license also gives procurement teams a defined renewal horizon, making it easier to plan spend and avoid ad hoc software purchases. For infrastructure teams, the value is in continuity: preserve access to the software tier associated with the Catalyst 4500-X platform while keeping licensing aligned to a 3-year planning window. For buyers, it reduces ambiguity around entitlement and helps justify the premium associated with Cisco software coverage on a business-critical switching platform.
