DNA Essentials to DNA Advantage

[Jeff Horton]

If I have 9300 and 9500 switches, can I upgrade from the Essentials to Advantage? If so, what are the steps in doing so?

[Jeff Horton]

I think I have found the answer to my question...

C9300-LIC=

Electronic Cisco DNA Upgrade License for C9300 switches. Note: when upgrading from Cisco DNA Essentials to Cisco DNA Advantage, Network Essentials is also upgraded to Network Advantage

This allows for the upgrade to the license without having to reorder the hardware.. Does this seem correct?

[Preston Chilcote · Accepted solution]

Yes, we don't intend customers to have to make any hardware changes in order to change licensing. Once you have the license ordered, you'll want to use the "license boot level" command and reload to enable the new license.
