Cisco Data Platform Foundation to Advanced Socket Monthly | Enterprise Licensing — V-ADV-1S-SU1MP-U3

Move from Foundation to Advanced with a monthly socket-based Cisco licensing upgrade built for enterprise procurement cycles and staged platform expansion. This SKU is intended for environments that already run Cisco Data Platform Foundation and need to unlock Advanced entitlement on a per-socket basis, keeping spend aligned to actual deployment footprint. Monthly billing gives infrastructure and finance teams more control when capacity plans change, while the socket model keeps licensing tied to the hardware footprint already in service. That makes this a practical choice for teams standardizing on Cisco software while avoiding the cost and disruption of a broader license replacement. For organizations managing production data services, the value is in precision: upgrade only what is needed, when it is needed, and keep the commercial model aligned to operational reality. It is a cleaner path for scaling platform capability without overbuying seats or committing to a larger term than the project requires. Ideal For Upgrade an existing Cisco Data Platform Foundation deployment to Advanced entitlement License a single production socket for a controlled platform expansion Bridge a short-term project with monthly software billing Standardize procurement for Cisco software upgrades across infrastructure teams Why This Product 1 Monthly billing instead of a long fixed commitment 2 Socket-based licensing instead of broad seat licensing 3 Upgrade path instead of a full new purchase 4 Cisco entitlement alignment for existing Foundation deployments
