C9500-24Y4C-EA-7-C9500 24P25G, Essentials to Advantage Upgrade, 7 Years is a network management software license upgrade designed specifically for Cisco Catalyst 9500 series switches. This upgrade transforms an Essentials license into an Advantage license, offering enhanced features and capabilities for enterprise network operations. Delivered as a digital key via electronic software delivery, the license is activated online and is crafted for IT administrators managing critical infrastructure in business and enterprise settings.
The upgrade is a subscription-based software license intended for one device and is optimized for enterprise use cases such as IT management and large-scale network deployments. Although the activation and delivery processes are digital, the upgrade does not target traditional desktop operating systems like Windows or macOS, and thus platform compatibility in the conventional sense is not applicable. Officially documented for Cisco hardware environments, this product ensures that global organizations benefit from an extended 7-year period of enhanced network functionality and vendor support.
C9500-24Y4C-EA-7 price is $9,735.00, a 47.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $18,452.00. C9500-24Y4C-EA-7 is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)
