On activation of a Capture Client key against a firewall of a client license, a cloud service product is created within the MSW tenant (previously called product group) that hosts the chosen firewall. This product represents a Capture Client instance that is currently not attached to any firewall – allowing the administrator to share the licenses amongst one or more of firewalls. This licensing model brings a few different benefits:
NOTE: Unlike other products, the friendly name is automatically chosen based on the Tenant you selected to activate the service in and it cannot be modified.
Now under Tenant Products, you should see a new Capture Client product.
NOTE: Previously, default tenant names were setup based on serial numbers. These are now standardized based on the CSC tenant name seen in MySonicWall. The ability to edit tenant names in the Capture Client Management console will be deprecated and this will only be possible by modifying the tenant name via MySonicWall
Capture Client integrates with SonicWall Firewalls to enable enforcement and share devices and user telemetry. This requires the licensing of the Capture Client Enforcement services on the SonicWall firewalls
NOTE: Previously, unused licenses were required to be mapped to a Client License or Client Distribution Group. this is no longer necessary.
