Hi DNA-C Team!
Today I am reaching out to you in hopes of getting some information w.r.t. Cisco DNA-C (SaaS) licensing and options the customer has in NaaS/MSP deployments.
I've searched & have been unable to find answers to the following:
Flexible payment options:
- Customer wants to pay more flexibly on a Periodic month to month basis
- Customer wants to pay more flexibly on an Aperiodic basis
- Customer wants flexible start dates for its periodic payments (e.g., 25th of every month or 1st of every month)
Renewals and License upgrade/downgrade:
- Can Customer add more month to the existing license before the renewal window, without buying additional license?
- How early can customer renew? Is renewal issuing new license key or extending the existing license period?
- Customers wants to do upgrade to a higher tier license mid-way through the cycle. Can they do that?
- Customers want to do downgrade to a lower tier license mid-way through the cycle. Can they do that?
- Customers want auto renewal. Can they do that?
Custom licenses:
- Deploy a variable qty of licenses over time on an undetermined schedule. Deploy extra licenses at will; Pay for extra licenses when they are deployed
Evaluation licenses:
- Customer wants simpler ways of getting enabling and trying out evaluation licenses.
- Partners want to enable evaluation licenses at the road discretion for testing purposes.
Any feedback on the above questions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
