Licensing
Cisco Smart Software Licensing explained
Cisco moved to a subscription-based licensing model. Here’s what you need to know.
Choose your platform
Catalyst 9000 switches require DNA licences. ISR routers use their own licensing tier. Identify your hardware first.
Choose your tier
DNA Essentials covers basic management. DNA Advantage adds advanced analytics, SD-Access and automation features.
Choose your term
3 or 5-year subscriptions are most cost-effective. We can advise on the right term based on your refresh cycle.

FAQ
Common questions
What is Cisco Smart Software Licensing? +
Cisco Smart Licensing is a subscription-based model that replaces traditional PAK-based licensing. Licences are tied to a Smart Account rather than individual devices, making it easier to manage across large estates.
What is the difference between DNA Essentials and DNA Advantage? +
DNA Essentials covers basic management, QoS and security features. DNA Advantage adds SD-Access, advanced analytics via DNA Center, and automation capabilities. Most enterprise deployments requiring full Cisco DNA Center features need Advantage.
Can I buy Cisco hardware without a DNA licence? +
Catalyst 9000 series hardware requires a DNA licence to unlock full functionality. Without a licence, the switch operates in a degraded mode. We always recommend purchasing hardware and the appropriate licence together.
Do you offer Cisco volume pricing for MSPs? +
Yes — we work with MSPs and resellers to provide competitive volume pricing on both hardware and licences. Contact us at sales@verilicense.co.uk with your requirements.
