Manual Upgrade for Closed Environments

If your SonicWall security appliance is deployed in a high-security environment that does not allow direct Internet connectivity from the SonicWall security appliance, you can enter the encrypted license key information from https://mysonicwall.com manually on the Device | Settings > Licenses page in the SonicOS management interface.

Manual upgrade of the encrypted license keyset is only for closed environments. If your firewall is connected to the Internet, it is recommended you use the automatic registration and Security Services upgrade features of your appliance.

You need to perform steps 1 through 4 from a computer connected to the internet and then continue the procedure in the SonicOS Management Interface of the security appliance that does not have internet connectivity.

1. Make sure you have an account at https://mysonicwall.com and your SonicWall security appliance is registered to the account before proceeding.
2. After logging into MySonicWall, click on the serial number of your registered SonicWall security appliance listed in Product Management > My Products.

3. Click MANUAL UPGRADE and select Add keyset to your product. The scrambled text displayed is the License Keyset for the selected SonicWall security appliance and activated Security Services.

   

4. Click Copy Code to copy the Keyset text for pasting into the Settings | Licenses page.
5. Make sure your SonicWall appliance is running the latest version of SonicOS.
6. Navigate to Device | Settings > Licenses.
7. Click Manual License at the upper-right corner of the page.

8. Paste (or type) the Keyset (from the step 3) into the Enter Keyset field in the Manual License Upgrade dialog.

   

9. Click APPLY to update your SonicWall security appliance. The status field at the bottom of the page displays The configuration has been updated.
10. You can generate the report from Device | Diagnostics > Tech Support Report to verify the upgrade details.

After the manual upgrade, the Settings | Licenses page does not contain any registration and upgrade information.
