C9400-SUP-UPG-LIC=

C9400-SUP-UPG-LIC= is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 supervisor software upgrade licence. It is software rather than hardware, so nothing ships: a key or entitlement is applied to equipment you already have. The catalogue describes it as Catalyst 9400 Supervisor Software Upgrade Paper License.

The licence is current; the hardware it applies to is not. The licence itself is current, but the Supervisor 1 and 1XL modules it applies to reached end of sale on 30 April 2025. That combination is worth spelling out, because it is easy to read a licence as current and assume the platform under it is too. Buying this is sensible if you are licensing supervisors you already have. It is not a sound basis for a new build, because the module it upgrades can no longer be bought new.

If you are extending an existing installation, tell us which supervisor modules are actually fitted and we will confirm this is the right upgrade for them. If you are specifying something new, the current supervisor generation is the thing to be looking at instead, and we would rather raise that now than sell you a licence for hardware you will struggle to source.

Note that this is a paper licence part number, fulfilled as a physical certificate rather than an electronic entitlement. The electronic equivalent is normally a separate part number, and for most buyers electronic delivery is quicker and easier to keep track of.

Green Code Technologies supplies Cisco and Huawei equipment and licences alongside HPE, Dell, Samsung and Netgear. We would rather tell you a part is no longer supported, or that we need to check it, than take an order for something that will not do what you need. Send us the platform, the software release and what you are trying to achieve and we will come back with a straight answer.
