appliance, SonicWall recommends registering your appliance
through the SonicOS web ‐ based management interface.
This section describes how to register and license your
appliance through SonicOS, as well as the alternate options
available on MySonicWall.

successfully connect to your SonicWall SuperMassive 9800

initial setup process, use the new IP address and
credentials. Then, click Login .

SonicWall appliance is not registered. Click the Register
link.
