Cisco IOS Advanced Enterprise Services 3.16S License | ASR 1000 — SASR1R2-AESK9-316S

Keep enterprise edge routing aligned with the demands of high-availability infrastructure. Cisco IOS Advanced Enterprise Services 3.16S provides a software licensing path for ASR 1000 Series RP2 deployments that need advanced service functionality on Cisco routing platforms. It is designed for teams that standardize on Cisco IOS software and require a licensed entitlement rather than a bundled appliance feature set. This license fits environments where routing policy, service continuity, and operational consistency matter more than commodity feature lists. By tying capability to a defined Cisco software entitlement, it supports controlled deployment planning, procurement clarity, and platform-specific software governance. That matters when the router is carrying critical WAN, edge, or aggregation traffic and downtime is not an option. For infrastructure teams, the value is in precision: the right software entitlement for the right Cisco platform, with no ambiguity about compatibility or licensing scope. It is a practical choice for organizations maintaining existing ASR 1000 investments and extending the useful life of proven routing hardware with the software services they were built to run.
