Registration Overview
Although there are several ways to register your new SonicWall
appliance, SonicWall recommends registering your appliance
through the SonicOS management interface.
This section describes how to register and license your
appliance through SonicOS, as well as the alternate options
available on MySonicWall.
NOTE: If you haven't created a MySonicWall account,
see Creating a MySonicWall Account on page 32.
Registering in SonicOS
After you have completed the Setup Wizard and can
successfully connect to your SonicWall NSA appliance, you are
ready to register the security appliance.
1 Log into your SonicWall appliance. Use the LAN (X0)
defaults (https://192.168.168.168 and admin /
password), or if you changed these fields during the
initial setup process, use the new IP address and
credentials. Then, click Login.
2 Navigate to the System > Status page.
3 The screen displays a message that your SonicWall
appliance is not registered. Click the Register link.
4 Enter your MySonicWall username (your email address)
and password in the appropriate fields. Then, click
Submit.
5 The licensing server acquires the necessary information
directly from the appliance. If asked, optionally specify
a Friendly Name or Product Group for the SonicWall
appliance.
6 Acknowledge the registration completion notification
by clicking Continue. The Licenses > License
Management page now lists all the Security Services
associated to your appliance.
Alternative Registration Options
If you have registered your SonicWall appliance through the
SonicOS interface, you can continue to Licensing Security
Services on page 35.
Although SonicWall strongly recommends registering your
appliance using the SonicOS interface, you can optionally use
MySonicWall to register your appliance.
