Cisco CX LVL 1 SW DCN Perp ACI Upgrade License | Data Center — CON-L1DS-ACIUPBAX

Keep Cisco ACI environments aligned to your data center roadmap with a perpetual Level 1 software-defined networking upgrade license. This SKU is intended for organizations that need a durable licensing path for ACI-related expansion or entitlement management without recurring subscription overhead. A perpetual license can simplify lifecycle planning when the goal is to preserve budget predictability and maintain continuity across infrastructure refresh cycles. For teams standardizing on Cisco data center networking, this type of entitlement helps support controlled adoption and cleaner asset management compared with fragmented, short-duration licensing. It is a practical fit for procurement teams and architects who need a defined upgrade license tied to Cisco ACI rather than a broad, bundled service package. The result is a more precise purchase for environments where license structure matters as much as technical fit.
