Description
APC EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert License — Perpetual, 25 Nodes (AP9525)
Full APC Specification: License, EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert, paper, perpetual, 25 nodes
The AP9525 is a perpetual paper license that adds 25 monitored nodes to an existing APC EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert (DCE) deployment. Paper licenses are physically delivered (not just digital) — useful for organizations with procurement workflows that require physical license documentation, government acquisition processes, and audit-trail compliance.
How DCE Licensing Works
The AP9470 EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert hardware appliance scales up to 2,025 monitored devices and 125 surveillance cameras — but only with licenses for the device count. Each AP9525 license adds 25 nodes to the deployment. For larger deployments, multiple AP9525 licenses can be stacked, or higher-capacity license SKUs (50-node, 100-node, etc.) are available.
What Counts as a Node
- APC UPS systems (Smart-UPS, Symmetra, Galaxy, Easy UPS — any unit with NMC management)
- APC Rack PDUs (switched and metered units with network management)
- APC NetShelter Rack ATS units
- APC environmental monitoring devices (NetBotz appliances and standalone sensors)
- IP cameras integrated through DCE (separate from node count, up to 125 cameras supported)
- Third-party SNMP devices integrated into DCE through SNMP discovery
Key Features
- Perpetual License: No annual subscription renewal — the 25 node count is permanent once licensed.
- Paper Delivery: Physical license documentation for procurement workflows requiring paper records.
- Stackable: Multiple AP9525 licenses can be combined for larger node counts.
- Standard DCE Compatibility: Works with all current and recent EcoStruxure IT DCE versions.
