Cisco ISE Base Fixed SMS-1000 | Identity Licensing, Enterprise Access — ISE-BSE-SMS-1K

Cisco ISE Base Fixed SMS-1000 gives infrastructure teams a defined licensing foundation for identity and access control deployments sized around 1,000 users. The fixed model is well suited to organizations that want predictable capacity and straightforward procurement rather than variable licensing tied to changing counts. Cisco Identity Services Engine helps enforce who can connect, what they can access, and under which conditions. In practice, that means tighter control over network admission, stronger policy consistency, and a cleaner operational model for security teams managing wired, wireless, and remote access environments. A fixed base license can be the right choice when the deployment scope is known and the organization values budget certainty. It reduces planning ambiguity and gives teams a clear starting point for standardizing access policy across a defined user population. For enterprises that prefer stable licensing over adjustable models, SMS-1000 provides a practical foundation for Cisco ISE adoption.
