Cisco CUPS System SW Per VPC User Plane Instance | Cloud Licensing — QVPCA-00-CUXUPP

Control user plane licensing with Cisco CUPS System SW, sold per VPC user plane instance. This structure is built for teams that need to map software entitlement directly to deployed instances, making it easier to plan capacity, forecast spend, and expand in step with architecture changes. For environments where user plane functions are distributed across multiple instances, a per-instance model avoids the waste that comes with oversized licensing blocks. It gives architects and procurement teams a cleaner way to scale: add entitlement as the deployment grows, keep cost tied to the actual footprint, and maintain clarity across operational and financial planning. Cisco’s licensing approach is well suited to infrastructure programs that value precision. Instead of paying for broad coverage that may sit idle, you license the specific user plane instances you run. That makes this product a strong fit for controlled rollouts, multi-site deployments, and service environments where capacity must remain measurable and auditable. Ideal For Licensing user plane software in distributed VPC deployments Capacity planning for multi-instance CUPS environments Phased rollout of user plane functions across sites Procurement of instance-based entitlement for Cisco service architectures Why This Product 1 Per-instance licensing tracks deployed user plane footprint 2 More precise than broad license blocks for distributed environments 3 Supports phased expansion as new VPC instances are added 4 Cisco entitlement model helps keep procurement auditable
