Cisco DNA Essentials 3-, 5-, or 7-year term license per year per access point for wireless

Term-Based Licensing

With the Cisco DNA architecture, we are also introducing term-based software packages: Cisco DNA Essentials and Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco ONE Advantage. In addition to on-box capabilities, the Cisco DNA packages unlock additional functionality in Cisco DNA Center, enabling controller-based software-defined automation in your network.

License consumption is further simplified with the following three package combinations. Cisco Embedded Support is included in all the three packages.

Essentials: Term-based (3, 5, or 7 years per access point) Cisco DNA Essentials package, term-based access point license, and term-based Cisco Prime Lifecycle and Assurance infrastructure licenses.

Advantage: Term-based (3, 5, or 7 years per access point) Cisco DNA Advantage package. It also includes everything in the Cisco DNA Essentials package.

Cisco ONE Advantage: Term-based (3, 5, or 7 years per access point) Cisco DNA Advantage package (includes Cisco DNA Essentials package), ISE Base, ISE Plus and CMX Base.

You can continue to deploy your network using perpetual licensing or the new term-based packages. The term- based licensing provides you with the additional benefit of using the same Cisco DNA license on any Cisco WLAN controllers and with any Aironet access point.
