Cisco C9600 DNA Advantage Upgrade License 3Y | Enterprise Licensing — C9600-DNA-E-A-3

Advance Catalyst 9600 licensing from Network Essentials to Network Advantage with a 3-year Cisco DNA upgrade term. Built for teams that need more than baseline switching, this license aligns the platform to advanced operational capabilities while keeping the entitlement structure clear for budgeting and renewal planning. For enterprise campus cores, the value is control: a defined term, a known upgrade path, and a licensing model that supports long-range infrastructure planning. Instead of piecing together add-ons or delaying feature alignment, this entitlement gives you a clean path to the higher capability tier associated with Cisco DNA Advantage on the Catalyst 9600 family. That matters when the network is carrying critical business traffic and every change must be predictable. A 3-year term helps synchronize software spend with refresh cycles, support planning, and procurement approvals. It also reduces ambiguity when standardizing across multiple switches or sites that need the same feature baseline. Choose this license when you want to preserve the Catalyst 9600 investment and move to the feature set your operations team expects from the Advantage tier.
