Cisco Catalyst 9600 DNA Advantage 5 Year License | Enterprise — C9600-DNA-A-5Y

Protect network investment planning with the Cisco Catalyst 9600 DNA Advantage 5 Year License. For infrastructure teams, the value is in maintaining a clear entitlement path for a critical switching platform while keeping procurement, renewal, and lifecycle decisions aligned over a multi-year term. This license is designed for organizations that want tighter control over software access and a more predictable operating model. A five-year term reduces administrative churn and gives IT and procurement a stable planning horizon for budget cycles, refresh timing, and support coordination. That matters when the network is expected to carry business-critical traffic and purchasing decisions must be justified well in advance. DNA Advantage is positioned for teams that need more than a short-term add-on. It supports a disciplined approach to platform ownerJTFp, helping you standardize how capabilities are tracked and renewed across the Catalyst 9600 environment. For enterprises managing large-scale switching infrastructure, that clarity is worth paying for: fewer surprises, cleaner records, and a more controlled path through the license lifecycle.
