Cisco CSR 1000V Smart License 500Mbps Security 5-Year | Cloud Licensing — CSR-500M-SEC-5Y

Keep critical virtual edge services covered with a 5-year Cisco Smart License for CSR 1000V security capacity at 500 Mbps. This entitlement is designed for teams that need to maintain licensed security throughput without re-architecting the deployment or changing the operating model. It fits environments where policy continuity, renewal discipline, and capacity planning matter more than feature churn. As a smart license, this package supports Cisco’s software entitlement model, helping infrastructure teams track coverage and maintain compliance across distributed virtual routers. It is well suited for organizations standardizing on CSR 1000V for secure connectivity in cloud, branch, and remote-access scenarios. The 5-year term reduces procurement overhead and gives finance and operations a longer planning horizon than annual renewals. For teams protecting production traffic, the value is in continuity: the license keeps the security package aligned to the deployed capacity so services remain properly entitled over time. That makes it a practical choice for enterprises that want stable licensing, fewer renewal events, and a cleaner path for long-term support of virtual network security workloads.
