Cisco S5400M DNA Essentials 12-24 Ports 1-Year Term License | Enterprise — 1783HMS-DNAE-M-1Y

Maintain software coverage for the Cisco S5400M platform with DNA Essentials licensing sized for 12-24 port deployments. This 1-year term license is built for teams that want a clear, short-cycle entitlement tied to the switch footprint, making it easier to align renewals with operational changes, refresh plans, or budget reviews. DNA Essentials provides a practical licensing path for access-layer environments that need Cisco software coverage without extending into a longer commitment. For IT and procurement teams, the one-year term can be useful when deployment scope is still being finalized, when hardware lifecycles are under review, or when annual budgeting requires tighter control over recurring spend. The 12-24 port range makes this license a fit for small to mid-sized switching environments where entitlement should reflect the actual port count rather than a broader enterprise-wide assumption. It is a focused option for organizations that value precise licensing, predictable renewal timing, and Cisco platform alignment.
