Activating Licenses In Sonicos; Upgrading Firmware - Dell NSA E8500 Getting Started Manual

Activating Licenses in SonicOS

After completing the registration process in SonicOS, you must
perform the following tasks to activate your licenses and enable
your licensed services from within the SonicOS user interface:
• Activate licenses
• Enable security services
• Apply services to network zones
This section describes how to activate your licenses. For
instructions on how to enable security services and apply
services to network zones, see the following sections:
• Enabling Security Services in SonicOS
• Applying Security Services to Zones
To activate licensed services in SonicOS, you can enter the
license keyset manually, or you can synchronize all licenses at
once with MySonicWALL.
The Setup Wizard automatically synchronizes all licenses with
MySonicWALL if the appliance has Internet access during initial
setup. If initial setup is already complete, you can synchronize
licenses from the System > Licenses page.
Manual upgrade using the license keyset is useful when your
appliance is not connected to the Internet. The license keyset
includes all license keys for services or software enabled on
MySonicWALL. It is available on MySonicWALL at the top of the
Service Management page for your Dell SonicWALL appliance.
