It appears to me that Cisco One is worthwhile if you are using the software that comes with it...PI, etc. If you are not, then you incur an annual fee for stuff you don't use. John

I had to go through TAC to get them to push the right buttons on the licensing portal from the back end, but they made it happen after a quick set of routine questions. Overall the process was quick and painless. Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that Manager of Network Operations | is simple, elegant, and wrong.
