Before You Register
You need a MySonicWALL account to register the Dell
SonicWALL NSA E8500. You can create a new MySonicWALL
account on
www.sonicwall.com or directly from the Dell
SonicWALL management interface. This section describes how
to create an account by using the Web site.
You can use MySonicWALL to register your Dell SonicWALL
appliance and activate or purchase licenses for Security
Services, Analyzer Reporting and other services, support, or
software before you even connect your device. This allows you
to prepare for your deployment before making any changes to
your existing network.
For a High Availability configuration, you must use
MySonicWALL to associate a secondary unit that can share the
Security Services licenses with your primary Dell SonicWALL
appliance.
Note: Your Dell SonicWALL NSA E8500 does not need to be
powered on during account creation or during the
MySonicWALL registration and licensing process.
Note: After registering a new Dell SonicWALL appliance on
MySonicWALL, you must also register the appliance
from the SonicOS management interface. This allows
the unit to synchronize with the Dell SonicWALL
License Server and to share licenses with the
associated appliance, if any. See
Accessing the
Management Interface , on page 31 .
