C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y licenses one Catalyst 9300L or Catalyst 9300LM 48-port 1G copper switch for 5 years. The Catalyst Advantage subscription needs the Network Advantage stack on the switch. It adds SD-Access, assurance, Cisco ThousandEyes, Cisco Spaces Extend, and ISE Advantage licenses through Catalyst Center. Cisco Catalyst Advantage license is the tier-led fit for fixed-uplink access switches that need advanced automation. Catalyst 9300L license coverage follows the 48-port 1G copper model, so the PO must match a C9300L or C9300LM hardware PID with 48 access ports. C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y stays at Catalyst Essentials; this PID carries Advantage features and base product-level software and hardware support that the Essentials sibling does not.

Software-Defined Access, Assurance and AI network analytics, Cisco ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics, Cisco Spaces Extend, and 10 ISE Advantage endpoint sessions are the Catalyst 9300 Advantage outcomes. Network Advantage must be present before the switch can use the Advantage subscription. C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y runs 5 years from the hardware shipment when ordered with a switch. At expiry, Network Advantage switching continues after the add-on is deactivated and the switch is reloaded; subscription innovation, software support, and Catalyst Center entitlement stop until renewal. Smart Licensing Using Policy on IOS XE 17.3.2 and later uses RUM reports, and the default subscription report requirement is 90 days. Smart Licenses transfer between the same type of Catalyst 9300 Series device. A stack needs one 48-port license for each 48-port member.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y is sold new only as a genuine Cisco license; licenses have no refurbished condition. The PO needs the hardware PID, quantity, term, Cisco Smart Account and Virtual Account, and delivery is electronic within 1 business day of the PO. Order the license with the switch PID, or against the expiring subscription for renewal, and confirm the port count and installed tier with show license summary before the PO. The license is not returnable once delivered; order errors are corrected before delivery. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, with co-termination and multi-year quotes for UK, EU, US and MEA buyers.

A new 48-port C9300L or C9300LM 1G copper switch order needs Catalyst Advantage for 5 years when Catalyst Center automation, assurance, Cisco ThousandEyes and Cisco Spaces Extend are required. The buyer specifies the switch PID, C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y, quantity, term, and Smart Account and Virtual Account before the PO.
An expiring 48-port C9300L/LM Catalyst Advantage subscription needs renewal before the 5-year term ends to keep subscription innovation, software support, and Catalyst Center entitlement active. The buyer provides the expiring subscription, current Smart Account and Virtual Account, hardware PID, and required co-termination date before the PO.
A stack being standardized on Catalyst Advantage needs one 48-port subscription for each 48-port C9300L/LM member. Mixed port counts require matching license quantities by member count. The buyer checks show license summary on each switch, then matches the installed Network Advantage tier and port count before the PO.

A Catalyst 9300L switch needs a Network Essentials or Network Advantage stack license in the hardware PID and a Catalyst, Cisco DNA, or Meraki term subscription. A 48-port 1G copper C9300L or C9300LM switch uses C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y when the required subscription tier is Catalyst Advantage for 5 years.
Catalyst Advantage includes Catalyst Essentials capabilities and adds Software-Defined Access, Assurance and AI network analytics, Cisco ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics, Cisco Spaces Extend, ISE Advantage licenses, fabric and segmentation capabilities, LAN automation, and advanced analytics for Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM switches.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y needs Network Advantage on the switch. A new -A hardware PID includes the Network Advantage stack. A switch on Essentials needs the Essentials-to-Advantage upgrade path before the Advantage subscription can deliver the Catalyst Center automation, assurance, and segmentation capabilities.

C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y runs for 5 years from the hardware shipment when ordered with the switch. At expiry, Network Advantage switching continues after the add-on is deactivated and the switch is reloaded; subscription innovation, software support, and Catalyst Center entitlement stop until renewal.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y is delivered electronically to the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account. The order needs the hardware PID, quantity, term, Smart Account and Virtual Account. Smart Licensing Using Policy on IOS XE 17.3.2 and later uses RUM reports and show license summary for validation.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y is renewable as a Catalyst software subscription for the covered 48-port C9300L/LM switch. The buyer orders against the expiring subscription, keeps the Smart Account and Virtual Account aligned, and provides the target co-termination date when the renewal must align with other subscriptions.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y covers one 48-port switch in a stack. Each 48-port C9300L or C9300LM member needs its own matching subscription. A mixed stack needs port-count alignment by member, and show license summary confirms the installed tier and license state before the PO.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y adds SD-Access, assurance, Cisco ThousandEyes, Cisco Spaces Extend, ISE Advantage licenses, advanced analytics, and segmentation.
