Electronic Licensing

If you have purchased the UTM bundled together with a 1- or 3-year license bundle, you can
use the electronic licensing option. When the UTM is connected to the Internet, you need to
enter only your customer information and optional value-added reseller (VAR) information on
the Register screen but do not need to enter the license numbers. When you click Register,
the UTM automatically downloads and activates the license keys because the serial number
of the UTM is linked to the license bundle.
If you have purchased licenses from a VAR (either directly or over the web) after purchase of
the UTM, the VAR should email you the license keys or provide them to you in another way.
To register and activate the license keys, follow the regular registration procedure that is
explained in the previous section.

Automatic Retrieval of Licenses After a Factory Default Reset

When you reset the UTM to the original factory default settings after you have entered the
license keys to activate the UTM, the license keys are erased. The license keys and the
different types of licenses that are available for the UTM are no longer displayed on the
Registration screen. However, after you have reconfigured the UTM to connect to the Internet
and to the NETGEAR registration server, the UTM retrieves and restores all registration
information based on its MAC address and hardware serial number. You do not need to
reenter the license keys and reactivate the UTM.
However, in the unlikely situation that you have been directed to use a nondefault update
server, you first need to enter the update server address in the server address field on the
Signatures & Engine screen, and click Apply (see
Engine Firmware
on page 426).
