Cisco C9500-DNX-E-40X-3Y 40P 10G Fiber 3-Year License | Enterprise — C9500-DNX-E-40X-3Y

Protect the software entitlement for a Cisco Catalyst 9500 deployment built around 40 ports of 10G fiber with this 3-year ESS subscription. It is designed for organizations that need to keep the installed switch configuration covered without changing the underlying hardware plan. For network teams, the practical value is control over the lifecycle of a known configuration. A fixed-term subscription helps align budgeting, renewal timing, and operational planning around the deployed platform, while preserving the software coverage associated with the switch. That is especially useful in enterprise environments where fiber uplinks, aggregation, and high-throughput access demand predictable support windows. This SKU is specific to the 40-port 10G fiber configuration, which makes it easier to match licensing to the installed system and avoid overbuying generic coverage. The 3-year term also gives procurement a clear planning horizon, supporting multi-year refresh strategies and reducing the administrative overhead of frequent renewals. For teams standardizing on Catalyst 9500, it keeps the software layer aligned with the hardware investment already in place.
