Management page is displayed.

changes to show the status of your licenses. The services can have a Try link, an Activate link, or an
Upgrade link.
3 To activate a free trial, click Try next to the service that you want to try. The page explains that you will
be guided through the setup of the service, and that you can purchase a Dell SonicWALL product
subscription at any time during or after the trial. Click Continue, and follow the setup instructions.

to the service that you want to upgrade. Type or paste one or more new activation keys into the New
License Key # field(s), and then click Submit.

status from the Dell SonicWALL licensing server. Rebooting the appliance also updates the license status.
Using a Spike License
A Spike License enables you to temporarily increase the number of remote users your appliance or SMA 500v
Virtual Appliance can support if there is a sudden spike in remote access needs, such as during a period of
severe weather or during a business event for remote participants. Licensed separately, this feature helps you
accommodate spikes in remote access traffic during planned or unplanned events.
When you buy a Spike License, it is valid for a given number of users and days (total number of users supported
when the Spike License is activated, not the number in addition to your base license number). You can suspend
and resume the use of the license as needed.
More than one Spike Licenses can be uploaded to your appliance, but only one can be active at a time.
