Preparing Accounts and Tenants

Before setting up SMA, you need to access MySonicWall to register your appliance, activate your license, and crating tenants.

1. Navigate to Capture Security Center.

2. Log in with your MySonicWall credentials.

   

3. Click on the MySonicWall tile.

   MySonicWall page is displayed.

   

4. Navigate to Resources & Support > My Groups.

   

5. Create the Tenants needed for your environment.

   For more information on how to create Tenants, click (Help) icon.

6. Navigate to My Workspace > Tenant Products.

   

7. Click on Register Products to register new SMA products under a specific tenant.

   

8. Provide the information requested by the registration wizard:

   • Tenant name
   • Serial number
   • Authentication code for the SMA product
   • Friendly name for the SMA product

9. Verify that the appliance is registered under the selected tenant.

   

10. Click on the Activate service key for the serial number you want to enable.

11. Under Gateway Services, find CSC Management and Reporting and click on Activate and provide activation key.

    A free trial for SMA Cloud Dashboard and Reporting is available, and you can click on Start Trial to activate it. A one-year subscription license is also available.

    

12. Log into the appliance you updated.
13. Navigate to System > Status.

14. Verify that CSC Management and Reporting shows as Licensed.

    

    The SMA tile on Capture Security Center also reflects the activated state (not grayed out).
