Table 9: Licensing FAQ

Question
Which device types does NSM count towards the
total device count?
Does NSM Central Manager (NS-SM-A-CM)
require a license key file?
Are there any differences in licenses for an NSM
appliance and software-only installations?
What is the procedure to add a new license after
the device count limit is reached?
I already have NSM installed in my network. I have
more than 25 devices installed on NSM. Do I need
a license key file to upgrade to 2007.3 or later
release?
What is the procedure to obtain the license key
file?
I don't have an NSM Serial number available.
What do I do?

Table 9 on page 19 answers frequently asked questions about NSM licensing.
Answer
NSM counts each single addition of a firewall, IDP, router, switch, Secure
Access, or Infranet Controller device as one device. Each cluster member
counts as one device. Each vsys device added to a firewall root device counts
as one device.
NSM Central Manager does not require a license key file for installation.
Enforcement is built into the product.
No. Both follow the same licensing scheme, but their installation methods
are different. NSM software version uses NSM Installer to install the new
license. An NSM appliance uses the Web UI to install the license. A license
can also be installed via the NSM UI after the base installation is completed.
License upgrades can be purchased at any time for any supported product.
After purchasing a license upgrade, you receive a Right to Use (RTU)
certificate containing an authorization code that allows you to log in to the
LMS system and generate a permanent license key that can be applied to
the NSM product. License key updates can then be applied from NSM GUI
from Tools > NSM License Information.
Yes, if you are upgrading from a release that is older than 2007.3.
For new installations, see "Installing NSM for the First Time" on page 13.
For upgrades, see "Upgrading to an NSM Release that Requires a License"
on page 15.
