Cisco CES PXE Encryption 5-Year License, 100-199 Users | Enterprise Security — L-CES-ENC-5Y-S1

Protect pre-boot provisioning traffic with a Cisco 5-year encryption license built for 100-199 users. This license is designed for environments where PXE boot remains part of the deployment workflow and where access control matters before an operating system is even loaded. For infrastructure teams, that means tighter protection around imaging, bare-metal provisioning, and recovery processes without changing the underlying operational model. A multi-year term reduces renewal churn and helps standardize security planning across sites or business units. Cisco licensing is often chosen when the cost of a weak control point is higher than the cost of the license itself. This SKU fits organizations that need a defined user band, predictable coverage, and a security layer that supports enterprise provisioning discipline over time.
