Upgrading Firmware - SonicWALL NSA 2600 Getting Started Manual

Activating Licenses Using a Key
If you registered your appliance through SonicOS, all licensed
services are already activated. You can continue to Upgrading
Firmware on page 37.
If you purchased a service subscription or upgrade from a sales
representative separately, you will have an Activation Key for
the service. This key is emailed to you after online purchases,
or is on the front of the certificate that was included with your
purchase.
To activate your service licenses using the key:
1 Log into your MySonicWall account
2 In the My Products page, click the appliance name to
open the Service Management page. The Applicable
Services table displays a list of services that are already
licensed or are available to license on your SonicWall
appliance.
Note that your initial purchase may have included
security services or other software bundled with the
appliance. These licenses are enabled on MySonicWall
when the appliance is delivered to you.
3 Locate the service in the Applicable Services section
and click the key icon.
4 Type or paste your key into the Activation Key field, and
then click Submit.
After activating the service, the Status and Expiration
columns display updated information when you return
to the Service Management page.
Upgrading Firmware
SonicWall recommends that you run the latest available
firmware on your security appliance. You will need to upgrade
the factory‐installed firmware to the latest version available on
MySonicWall.
