Cisco ISE Essential Term License, 5Y, 100-249 Sessions | Access Control — L-ISE-E-S1-5Y

Keep access policy under control across a defined session range with Cisco ISE Essential term licensing for 5 years. Built for organizations that need dependable identity-based access decisions without overcommitting to a larger license tier, this subscription aligns cost with the size of the deployment. Cisco ISE helps enforce who and what can connect to the network, supporting tighter control over wired, wireless, and remote access workflows. For infrastructure teams, the value is in consistency: one licensing model, a fixed term, and a session band sized for smaller enterprise environments or targeted rollouts. This license is a practical fit when you need to standardize access policy, support compliance requirements, and keep procurement tied to a known user or session count. It is especially useful when the goal is to secure critical access points without paying for capacity you do not need.
