Cisco FirePOWER Virtual IPS and Apps 5-Year Subscription | Security Licensing — FP-VMW-TA-5Y

Keep virtual infrastructure protected with a subscription built for long-term security coverage. Cisco FirePOWER Virtual IPS and Apps provides one license for a 5-year validation period, giving teams a defined entitlement for virtual deployment scenarios where consistent inspection and policy enforcement matter. This licensing model fits organizations standardizing security controls in VMware-based environments and other virtualized footprints. It is designed for teams that want to extend IPS and application visibility into software-defined infrastructure while maintaining a clear procurement and renewal cycle. For enterprise buyers, the value is in continuity: a multi-year term reduces administrative churn, supports budget planning, and keeps security coverage aligned with platform lifecycles. When compared with shorter-term licensing, this 5-year subscription is better suited to environments where uptime, compliance, and predictable operating costs are non-negotiable.
