Cisco NCS 5500 Core & Aggr License | NCS-55A2-SE/H, Enterprise, Licensing — NC55P-CRAGR-A2MDS=

Activate core and aggregation licensing for Cisco NCS 5500 environments built on the NCS-55A2-SE/H base chassis. This license is intended for organizations that want to align routing capability with the platform already deployed, rather than absorbing the cost and disruption of a broader hardware change. In high-demand network environments, the value of a targeted license is control. You can match entitlement to the chassis in service, keep procurement focused, and avoid overbuying capacity that is not yet required. That makes this a practical fit for backbone, aggregation, and service-provider routing architectures where precision matters. Because the license is specific to the base chassis, it supports a cleaner operational model: the right entitlement on the right platform. For infrastructure teams, that means less ambiguity in planning, simpler compliance management, and a more disciplined path to scaling the network as traffic and service requirements increase.
