Cisco CUPS User Plane Instance Active, per Year | Cloud Licensing — VPSLA-00-UPINSS-1Y

Keep a Cisco CUPS user-plane instance licensed and active on an annual basis. This subscription is designed for infrastructure teams that need to preserve service continuity, align licensing to deployed capacity, and avoid the friction of ad hoc renewals. It fits environments where the user plane is a defined operational component and procurement needs a straightforward yearly entitlement tied to that instance. For organizations running carrier or communications workloads, the value is in precision. You license the active user-plane instance you need, when you need it, without carrying unnecessary scope. That makes budgeting cleaner and helps operations teams maintain alignment between deployed services and purchased coverage. It is a practical fit for controlled rollouts, steady-state operations, and environments where license governance matters as much as technical uptime. Because this is an annual software entitlement, it supports recurring planning cycles and simplifies procurement review. The result is less ambiguity around coverage and a more disciplined approach to sustaining the Cisco CUPS user plane over time.
