Cisco C9300 DNA Advantage Term License | Catalyst 9300 Enterprise Licensing — C9300X-DNA-12Q-1A

Maintain software access for Catalyst 9300 deployments with Cisco DNA Advantage term licensing. This model is built for teams that want a clear subscription boundary around switch software, with entitlement planning that tracks to the hardware lifecycle instead of forcing a perpetual software commitment. Cisco DNA Advantage is commonly selected when the network requires more than basic switching features and the organization wants a structured path for ongoing software access. For infrastructure teams, that means cleaner budget forecasting, simpler renewal management, and a licensing approach that can be matched to the operational life of the switch. The term license format is especially useful in environments where procurement prefers recurring spend, software refreshes are coordinated with hardware cycles, or standardization across the Catalyst 9300 family is a priority. It helps avoid overbuying long-term rights for equipment that may be replaced on a planned schedule. Use this license to keep a Catalyst 9300 switch covered under Cisco DNA Advantage without adding unnecessary complexity to the purchasing process. It is a practical fit for enterprise access layers that need disciplined software entitlement management and a clear path to renewal.
