Activating or Upgrading Licenses
System > Licenses Overview
Services upgrade licensing and related functionality is provided by the License Manager that runs on the
SMA/SRA appliance. The License Manager communicates periodically (hourly) with the Dell SonicWALL licensing
server to verify the validity of licenses. The License Manager also allows the administrator to purchase licenses
directly or turn on free trials to preview a product before buying.
The
System > Licenses
page provides a link to activate, upgrade, or renew Dell SonicWALL Security Services
licenses. From this page in the Secure Mobile Access management interface, you can manage all the Dell
SonicWALL Security Services licenses for your SMA/SRA appliance.

the security appliance. The
Status
column indicates if the security service is activated (Licensed), available for

Assist, Spike License, Stateful High Availability (only on SMA 400, SRA 4600), and Web Application Firewall are
