Cisco CSR 1000V Smart License 500Mbps AppX 3-Year | Virtual Router — CSR-500M-APP-3Y

Keep virtual edge infrastructure aligned to actual traffic demand with the Cisco CSR 1000V Smart License 500 Mbps AppX Package. This 3-year entitlement is designed for environments that run routing and application-aware services in virtualized or cloud-based deployments, where capacity planning and licensing discipline matter as much as performance. The 500 Mbps rating makes this package a practical fit for smaller branch, distributed enterprise, or lab environments that need Cisco virtual router capabilities without stepping into oversized licensing tiers. A defined term helps procurement teams budget cleanly while giving operations a clear service window for the platform. Because it is tied to the CSR 1000V software model, this license is best suited to organizations standardizing on Cisco virtual networking for edge connectivity, segmentation, and controlled service delivery. It supports a more precise match between workload requirements and licensed throughput, which is often the difference between efficient deployment and unnecessary spend.
