The Firebox makes sure the software package is a legitimate software upgrade. It then copies the
new software to the system. This can take 15 to 45 seconds. When the update is complete, click
the Reboot button that appears on the Update page. After the Firebox restarts, the System
Status page appears and shows the new version number.
Activating Upgrade Options
You use two items to add upgrades to your Firebox® X Edge: a feature key and a license key. It is impor-
tant to understand the differences between these two keys.
Your Firebox X Edge comes with certain features by default. These features are specified by the feature
key. If you purchase an upgrade for your Edge, you must apply a new feature key to your Edge.
You do not immediately get a feature key when you upgrade your Edge, however. When you purchase
an upgrade, you receive a license key. You must enter this key on the LiveSecurity® web site to get a
new feature key. You then add the feature key to your Edge configuration.

Upgrade options

User licenses
A seat license upgrade allows more connections between the trusted network and the external
network. For example, a 5-seat user license upgrade allows five more connections to the external
network.

secure (IPSec) VPN tunnel. These users have access to resources on the trusted and optional
networks.
