Registering the NSv Virtual Machine as PAYG
This section describes how to register an NSv when it is being deployed as “Pay As You Go” (PAYG). The choice to use PAYG is made as you initiate subscription in the AWS Marketplace.
After you have installed and configured network settings for the NSv as described in Installing SonicOS on the NSv Series, log in to the web management interface. To find the IPv4 address for the web management interface, log into the Management Console as described in Connecting to the Management Console with SSH.
