Hello @Jahirul 

To prepare a renewal list price document for the 4th year for the Cisco N9K-C93180YC-FX3 switch, you need to consider the licensing options and terms available for the specific product and ensure that the pricing aligns with Cisco's guidelines. Since you mentioned that the 1-year term is not available for the PID C1-N9K-ADD-T and that you are working with term-based licenses, here is how you can proceed:

---

Steps to Prepare the Renewal List Price for the 4th Year:

1. Understand the Licensing Options:

   • The PID C1-N9K-ADD-T is part of Cisco's Nexus licensing model, which typically offers term-based licenses for 3, 5, or 7 years.
   • Since you are looking for a 1-year renewal for the 4th year, you will need to calculate the prorated cost for a single year based on the 3-year term price.

2. Calculate the 1-Year Price:

   • If the 1-year term is not directly available, you can derive the 1-year price by dividing the 3-year term price by 3. This will give you the approximate cost for a single year.
   • For example, if the 3-year term price for C1-N9K-ADD-T is $3,000,the1-yearpricewouldbe$3,000 ÷ 3 = $1,000.

3. Verify Pricing with Cisco:

   • Cisco's pricing and licensing policies may vary, so it is important to confirm the prorated 1-year price with Cisco or your Cisco partner/distributor.
   • You can reach out to Cisco's sales team or use the Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW) tool to validate the pricing.

4. Prepare the Renewal Document:

   • In your renewal document, clearly specify that the renewal is for the 4th year only.
   • Include the PID (C1-N9K-ADD-T), the calculated 1-year price, and any other relevant details (e.g., service level, support options, etc.).
   • If applicable, include a note explaining that the 1-year price was derived from the 3-year term price.

5. Use the Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW):

   • Log in to the CCW tool and create a new quote for the renewal.
   • Select the appropriate PID (C1-N9K-ADD-T) and specify the term as 1 year (if available) or manually adjust the pricing based on your calculation.
   • Generate the quote and export it as a PDF or Excel file to include in your renewal document.

6. Reference the Licensing Guide:

   • Include a reference to the Cisco licensing guide (e.g., the document you linked: Cisco Nexus Licensing Guide) to provide additional context for the pricing and terms.

Notes:

1. If you are unable to calculate the 1-year price or if Cisco does not allow prorated pricing, you may need to purchase a 3-year term and allocate the cost accordingly.
2. Always confirm the final pricing and terms with Cisco or your authorized Cisco partner to ensure compliance with licensing policies.

Hope This Helps!!!
