Frequently Asked Questions
What is a perpetual license?
A perpetual license means you own the software license indefinitely. Unlike subscription licenses, there are no recurring fees to maintain access to the software's core functionality.
What does 'Large Devices (4-7 vCPUs)' mean?
This specifies the resource allocation required per device managed by the Cisco ESC platform. 'Large Devices' indicates a higher resource demand, and the 4-7 vCPUs define the specific virtual CPU allocation needed for each of these devices.
Does this license include software updates and support?
Perpetual licenses typically cover the software version at the time of purchase. Ongoing support and access to future software updates usually require a separate Cisco Smart Net Total Care or similar support contract.
