Before You Register - SonicWALL NSA 2400 Getting Started Manual

Before You Register

You need a MySonicWALL account to register the SonicWALL
NSA appliance. You can create a new MySonicWALL account
on www.mysonicwall.com or directly from the SonicWALL
management interface. This section describes how to create an
account by using the Web site.
If you already have a MySonicWALL account, go to
and Licensing Your Appliance on MySonicWALL
register your appliance on MySonicWALL. You can also
postpone registration until after having set up the appliance.
Skip ahead to Deployment Scenarios
your appliance directly from the management interface once
you reach Accessing the Management Interface
Note:
For a High Availability configuration, you must use
MySonicWALL to associate a backup unit that can
share the Security Services licenses with your primary
SonicWALL.
If you do not yet have a MySonicWALL account, you can use
MySonicWALL to register your SonicWALL appliance and
activate or purchase licenses for Security Services, ViewPoint
Reporting and other services, support, or software before you
even connect your device. This method allows you to prepare
for your deployment before making any changes to your
existing network.

Note:
Your SonicWALL NSA appliance does not need to be
powered on during account creation or during the
MySonicWALL registration and licensing process.
After registering a new SonicWALL appliance on
MySonicWALL, you must also register the appliance from the
SonicOS management interface. This allows the unit to
synchronize with the SonicWALL License Server and to share
licenses with the associated appliance, if any. See
